With Halloween coming up and the other holidays coming up soon I decided to make up a low carb version of my favorite pumpkin pie recipe.  At 171 calories per slice and only 2 net carbs, compared to the classic version at 290 calories and 39 net carbs.  You can enjoy this version during the holidays without packing on several extra pounds come next new year, without any loss in enjoyment.

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon Splenda

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine Splenda and half of the almond flour with butter.

  4. Dust the rest of the almond flour over mixture in pan and use a flat object (I went with a measuring cup) to compact crust to make a single even layer.
