Easy Eggless Keto Pie Crust
This is an eggless keto pie crust. When I first started keto I wanted to make a pie, so I went on the hunt for a keto pie crust recipe. What I found was that they all use eggs in their crust. However, I did not want to add extra eggs to my pies, so I decided to come up with my own recipe. I did this by using my mom’s regular crust recipe as a basis for how I could adapt it to keto.
Hold The Eggs, Please!!!
What I came up with is what you see on this page. It is a great pie crust, flaky and just as good as the pie crusts that have all the carbs in them. Also, there is the added bonus of no extra eggs. I personally don’t like adding a lot of eggs to my baking, even for keto. The reason why people do add eggs is that it creates stability in baking. I just wanted to find a way to avoid it because I do not like the eggy taste.
Don’t Pulse To Much
Make sure that when you make this recipe that you use very cold butter and I would recommend using a food processor, but if you don’t have one you can just use a pastry cutter. I don’t have one, but I am sure that would work too. I used to use a butter knife to cut the butter in, however, a food processor is a lot easier. Just be careful to pulse just until it is crumbled and coming together as a dough. If you pulse too much you will have almond butter.
You can use this for any of your favorite pie recipes or our pie recipes such as My Great Grandma’s Keto Chocolate Pie.
