Its getting close to Thanksgiving – are home made pies on your baking list? Why not try this coconut flour pie crust for a flavorful, healthy alternative? Only 5 ingredients and simple to make, it adds a warm, complimentary flavor to pumpkin, pecan and apple pies.
Ingredients:
1/2 c. coconut oil or melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 t. sea salt
3/4 c. coconut flour
1 -3 T. raw honey
Directions:
Beat butter, eggs, honey & salt with a fork. Add coconut flour and stir into a ball of dough. Pat into a greased 9″ pie plate. Bake 8 – 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Let cool. Add filling!
I used only 1 T. of honey, so the crust only has a total of 17 g. of sugar. That’s just 2.5 g per slice. Grain free AND guilt free, you can have your pie and eat it too this Thanksgiving.
ENJOY!
