Readers love that this almond flour pie crust recipe is made with basic ingredients:

• Butter: melted, grass-fed butter is best. I usually use unsalted, but salted will work just as well.
• Almond Flour: I always use the same brand, since every brand of almond flour is just a bit different. Other almond flours will work too, just may require a bit more butter or a bit more almond flour to get just the right consistency.
• Low Carb Sweetener: I'll always use Baking Sweetener or Allulose to bake with. Both have an exceptionally low glycemic index, and cook and bake nearly identical to sugar. If you choose to sub a different sweetener, your results from this recipe may be different.
• Salt: a pinch of a good quality sea salt is perfect. I don't count this in the ingredients 🙂

As always, having certain supplies on hand in the kitchen will make this recipe simpler, although many substitutions can be made for the exact items I used.

How To Make Keto Crust

Prepare your pie pan by spraying with avocado oil, or by brushing with melted butter or coconut oil and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350.

In a mixing bowl, stir together dry ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, salt) until combined. Add in melted butter and stir until the dough forms small clumps.

Scrape into the prepared pie dish and press firmly into the bottom and sides until the dish is coated evenly.

Baked for 10-12 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool before filling.

Tips For Making the Best Keto Pie Crust

For a savory pie crust, leave out the sweetener, combine and bake as above.

If you don't want to mix by hand, a stand mixer, hand mixer, or even a food processor will save your hands and mix it quite well.

If using cold butter, use a food processor to mix. This will save your hands and cut in the butter effectively. If you don't have a food processor and are using cold butter, use a pastry cutter to effectively mix the dry ingredients and butter.

Always prebake keto pie crusts. They do best when they're already firm before filling.

Low Carb Pie Crust Recipe FAQ's

Can the crust be made ahead and stored?

Yes! This perfect pie crust is one of the easiest things to prepare ahead of time and store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use. In fact, you can scale this recipe up and use one crust within 3 days, then freeze the remaining crusts (or pie crust dough) for easy keto desserts later.

Can I use this crust for a savory recipe?

Absolutely, just omit the sweetener, then mix and bake as described in the recipe card.

How to store the crust?

The crust can be stored baked or unbaked, in the refrigerator, tightly covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days. The crust can be frozen, tightly covered, for up to 2 months.

Can this be used for tarts? In other pans?

Absolutely, in fact it's a good pie crust in tarts. It can be made in a metal pan, a springform pan, a 9×9 ceramic or glass pan, tart pans and more! When you prebake the crust, just keep and eye on it after 5 minutes, watching for the edges to brown. When the browning starts, remove it from the oven to cool before filling.

How Many G Net Carbs?

Each serving of keto pie crust has just 3 g net carb, making it suitable for a keto diet. Regular pie crust has 12 grams of carbs or more. A traditional crust will also have gluten and other inflammatory seed oils.
