Carbs in Traditional Pecan Pie
The nutritional information for a classic sugar filled with corn syrup pecan pie on Cronometer, for one piece has 527 calories, and 63.7 grams of carbs! That is more than anyone on a ketogenic diet should have in like 3 days!
Regardless if you follow a keto lifestyle or not, this is a huge sugar load and will spike your blood glucose and definitely cause intense cravings for more.

Sugar Free Pecan Pie Recipe
“This is the BEST dessert you have EVER made!!!”, says the picky hubby who still loves white sugar and white flour products.
Though it’s not the classic pecan pie because I love chocolate, it is a chocolate pecan pie made completely from scratch, low carb and gluten free.
How can it be possible? People do crazy things when their birthday comes around and they want a sweet treat. Mine is November 24th!
On my birthday, I didn’t want cake, I wanted a good pecan pie.
We celebrate my birthday with extended family on Thanksgiving every year since I was a baby. So although this pie might be late to the party in the grand scheme of getting Thanksgiving keto pie recipes to you on the blog, it was worth waiting for.
Holiday Keto Pie Recipe
It all began with an idea once I made the Salted Caramel Sauce. I knew it would be the most amazing filling mixture used in a keto pie so I got experimenting. Had to make it multiple times but no one complained.
Had to make the awesome low carb, grain free keto pie crust a few times too, but isn’t anything in life that’s extraordinary worth a little bit of hard work? I believe it is.
This keto pie makes me happy, not only because it’s my birthday, but because it was on my foodie bucket list for a very long time and I finally tackled and successfully accomplished it. I feel that victory in my soul and it thrills me to share it with you.
My Cookbooks
I wrote this keto recipe in 2014 when I turned 43 and I shared how I finally lost those stubborn 15 pounds I gained when I wrote my first cookbook.
Since then I’ve written 3 more cookbooks: Naturally Keto, The 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet and my new one due to release 9/23/25 called Good Better Best!
I can’t say I feel like I’m 23 or even 33 even though I’m a faithful exerciser who strives for healthy living in not just what I eat but all I do. I love a good cardio and strength training exercise program.
I CAN say I’m a blessed and happy woman who’s grateful for everything in her life. I’m healthy and have a beautiful family and husband who loves me and I get to do what I love for a living, and that is priceless. I am grateful and don’t take anything for granted.
And maybe….just maybe…. there is a slight bit of truth to the fact that when you’re over 40 you don’t feel as worried about what others think and you just do your own thing, moving on to the next project, and enjoying life just a little bit more than when you were 20 something, maybe.
Keto Pecan Pie Filling is Indulgent
Before you freak out at the calorie count and fat, remember this one thing, IT”S CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE!! It is INDULGENT.
It is beautiful pie for a low-carb diet and wonderful to have on your dessert table for a special occasion. It’s not an everyday kind of dessert. It was for my birthday. While low carb and healthier, it is still high in calories and fat, just saying.
Brenda’s Notes:
- If you don’t have the sweetener I used, you can use another sugar free baking blend.
- If you don’t have liquid vanilla stevia you can eliminate it and I think this delicious keto pie would still be sweet but not as sweet as typical pecan pie.
- You could also use another flavor of liquid stevia like Cinnamon or toffee flavor. You could also use 1/4 teaspoon of pure stevia extract if you don’t have the liquid version of stevia.

Can you substitute coconut milk for the heavy cream?
I’ve not tried that sub, I can say that the heavy cream thickens when you bring it to a boil with thickens the entire pie when baked, not sure how coconut cream would work in it’s place.
Looks awesome. My question is which stevia brand do you use? I’ve tried a few that had a bitter after taste so wonder if an order to somewhere special like King Arthur in the U. S. is in order?? Thanks so much!
I think the stevia is linked in the recipe and it shows wish one I used, but often I like the Sweetleaf brand the best.
Haven’t tried this yet but it sounds great. Question – one person talks about molasses AND maple syrup. The recipe I’m reading says Nothing about molasses. Was this left out of recipe by accident??
My original recipe included yacon syrup which is like a molasses flavor but I feel you don’t need it using sugar free maple syrup so I removed it.
How is it low carb with maple syrup and molasses? Do you certain kinds?
It only uses 1 tbsp of each. When you consider that this is cut into 12 slices, that is pretty low carb for each slice. Also, black strap molasses has fewer carbs than normal molasses.
My sister made this for Christmas dinner last night and it was fantastic!
Thank you for coming back to let me know!
This is the best pie we’ve ever made! It was really a star of the show for our Thanksgiving desserts! I can’t thank you enough. The first one we made with a gluten free store-bought crust and we made the second pie crustless–both were exceedingly delicious! Thank you for making the holiday extra special and very diabetic-friendly! Warmest blessings…
Awe!! That is awesome!! How did it work without the bottom crust though? less cooking time , harder to serve?
This looks amazing! Happy Belated Birthday – what a delicious way to celebrate!
Happy Birthday! That pie looks so rich and chocolatey.
Happy birthday!!
Hope you had a wonderful birthday, and what a perfect pie to celebrate with!
I love a good pecan pie to begin with. But a chocolate one? That just pushes me over the edge!
Happy Birthday, Brenda! Being blessed and thankful is a good place to be. Of course, celebrating with such a decadent looking pie is pretty good too.
CHOCOLATE! Oooh! Your pie looks so rich and thick and luscious! MMM!
I just made the pie…its in the oven. I noticed the recipe never stated when to add back the eggs. I added them with mixture at the end. looks great will post how it turns out and taste, later.
Now that’s a rave review for this dessert! I do love chocolate and pecans together, so this sounds like this perfect pie.
Happy birthday to you! This pie looks like the perfect way to celebrate! No chance you can save a slice for my birthday next month? 🙂
Aww happy birthday, sweet lady! This pie looks so incredible. I just made chocolate pecan pie bars buuuuuut, your pie looks better, ha! 🙂
I have to make the best dessert you ever made. It looks great too!
Happy birthday!! I want this pie for MY next birthday, too!
Happy Birthday! And wow – does that look delicious!
Thank you!
Oh, this is indulgence at its best – it looks beyond amazing. Happy birthday Brenda, I hope you have an amazing day!
Thanks Heather!
Aaaaah, Happy Birthday! Pie instead of cake works for me! This job is not conducive to losing weight, that’s for sure. But I would never dream of depriving myself of treats like this. Just maybe a smaller serving 🙂
Thank you!
