PECAN PIE
CRUST:
3/4 cup blanched almond flour or pecan meal
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup Just Like Sugar (or Swerve)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1 egg
FILLING:
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup erythritol (or Swerve)
1 tsp stevia glycerite
1 cup NATURE'S HOLLOW xylitol syrup
2 TBS butter or coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans
CRUST: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch springform pan. In a medium bowl, mix ingredients. NOTE: Just Like Sugar is 96g fiber/cup; do not add to "melted" butter. This will cause it to gel up and get hard. This will be a thick pie dough, press onto bottom of pie pan. Place in oven to pre-bake the crust. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
FILLING: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the sweetener. Add the butter, syrup, and vanilla then add the pecans. Pour into the crust (over edges with foil) and bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until set. Serve with my "healthified" ice cream! Makes 12 servings.
NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON (per serving)
Traditional Pecan Pie = 396 calories, 22g fat, 3.7g protein, 51 carbs, 1.6g fiber
"Healthified" Pie = 229 calories, 20g fat, 7.7g protein, 3.8 carbs, 2g fiber

I have a client having a birthday this week (Happy Birthday Dee!) and she asked for a "healthified" German Chocolate Cake. Yum, if you like coconut and chocolate...this one is a hit! Cake: 2/3 cup butter or coconut oil 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder...

It is my 30th birthday today. My wish it that I get our referral today for our baby. My husband is terrible at keeping secrets (he usually has me open my present the day he gets it:) even with Christmas presents). But I hope that he knows and is just...

It is our 9th wedding anniversary today on August 11th, so I wanted to make Craig's favorite dessert...Vanilla Bean Cheesecake! I brought this to a gathering with family and friends and everyone loved it. No one knew it was "healthified!" CRUST:...
