Why Make A Nut Pie Crust?

The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic’s creamy dreamy vegan key lime pie is made with a crunchy pecan pie crust in Divabetic’s newest Mystery Podcast: Kill Me Madam available on demand.

Why you might want to try a nut-based pie crust recipe?

A regular pie crust is packed with carbs, often the refined type of carbs like white flour and sugar!

Graham cracker pie crusts contain around 19 to 20 grams of carbs per slice before adding any filling. Other wheat flour pie crusts can range anywhere starting from 10 grams per slice upwards. And these crusts often contain little, to no dietary fiber.

But nut pie crusts are low-carb, keto, paleo, sugar-free and gluten-free! Made with fresh nuts like pecans and/or walnuts, they taste amazing!

If you are looking for a healthy alternative to graham cracker crust, a walnut pie crust is as good of a substitute as it gets! A toasted walnut flavor is amazing with  cheesecakes or pumpkin pies! Use this walnut crust in any recipe that calls for graham cracker crust – you are going to love it as much as I do!

There’s a good indication that murder might be part of the recipe when Nantucket’s ten time reigning Baking Champion’s last name is ‘Coffin’. But resentment, greed and Britannia’s own bad dealings turn everyone into a suspect when she’s found dead in the parking lot just before the Annual Decadents on Deck! Bake Off competition is about to kick off.
