Healthy Pumpkin Pie Recipes – Living Low Carb 2018
Learn to Make the Best Low Carb Pumpkin Pie with these Recipes
It seems that everywhere you go during the fall season, you’ll encounter the wonderful aroma and flavour of pumpkin in all kinds of different recipes. And yet with all those different taste experiences to choose from, in our humble opinion, no other pumpkin creation is as distinctive and iconic as a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.
It’s a tradition that goes back countless years and is just as important a component of a classic Thanksgiving feast as a giant roasted turkey. Of course, like many other types of pie, most of the traditional recipes for pumpkin pie will likely be high in sugars and high in carbs. Fortunately, low carb dieters won’t need to skip over dessert thanks to these amazing recipes for low carb pumpkin pies that will blow you away this Thanksgiving.
Naturally, if you have your own family recipe that’s been passed down for generations, you don’t need to set it aside just because you’re living low carb. Pretty much any pie recipe can be made the low carb way with just a few simple changes. For example, instead of sugar you can use your preferred alternative sweetener as a substitute. Just make sure that you factor in the different sweetening power that some artificial sweeteners have, as you may need a smaller amount to achieve the same sweetness level.
Another way to reduce the carbs in any kind of pie is to switch to a low carb pie crust. You can make your own from scratch using flours such as almond or coconut flour in order to bring down the carb counts in the crust. Alternatively, you could simply opt for a pre-packaged pie crust mix, like this low carb pie crust mix.
However, if you’re searching for a completely new recipe to try for your pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving, we’ve found three amazing creations that are sure to end your meal on a high note. Let’s take a look at these tasty desserts!
