    These bite sized low carb pecan pie tarts are baked in a mini muffin pan and are great for portion control as well as a holiday buffet sweet treat.

    All of the taste of a low carb pecan pie with a buttery low carb pastry, these mini pecan tarts are also gluten free. With a sweet crunch pecan filling you will find it hard to stop at one.

    Carbs in Pecans

    Pecans are one of the top 5 best nuts for a low carb diet. At only 1g net carb per 28g (1oz) serving they make a great snack and perfect for low carb baking.

    How to make low carb pecan pie tarts

    These mini tarts make a great keto Thanksgiving dessert and can be made ahead too. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Or you could make the pastry and filling ahead so all you have to do is bake them when you are ready to eat.

    The low carb pastry is easy to make as all of the ingredient are blended in a food processor. Just with traditional pastry, the dough needs to chill before using.

    A creamy mixture of butter, cream which is sweetened with a brown low carb sweetener and a sugar free maple syrup makes the delicious filling. Add chopped pecans and you are ready to bake!

    Recipe Notes

    I use a silicone mini muffin tin purely for easy of popping the mini tarts out once they are cool. You could use a larger muffin tin, but just ensure that it is greased before baking.
