Looking for a sugar free pecan pie? We’ve got you covered!
Hey yall! I have a real treat today. (Giggle. Pun intended.) My sweet friend Brittany is taking over the blog to share this delicious SUGAR FREE pecan pie! I don’t know about you, but pecan pie is a MUST for Thanksgiving at our house. We have one every year. My dad makes it and I haven’t gotten his recipe to make one on my own. I do KNOW it’s loaded with sugar. That’s the main ingredient in the pie! (Well besides pecans.) Needless to say I’m excited to try Brittany’s version! Check out her sugar free academy too!
Two years ago I gave up sugar. I started in January 2015, and knew I had about 10-11 months to really get things under control, and have a good plan set in place for the holidays! I don’t know about you, but around my home during the holidays, it means we are going to have lots of food, and even more desserts! Seriously, my family could feed the entire town with what all they cook! We have leftovers for weeks!
So when you think of Thanksgiving, what comes to mind?
- Thankfulness
- Time with family
- Holiday shopping
- Getting way too full
- Naps
- Pecan pies
What if I told you I could give you one of those things and have it be GUILT FREE!?!?
That’s right! The year I gave up sugar I knew that I would have to be “well-trained” to really stay away from all the sugar at our family’s Thanksgiving Celebration. So instead of setting myself up for failure, I chose one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts and made it sugar free!
That’s why I’ve added this amazing Sugar Free Pecan Pie to my Simply Sugar Free Cookbook that is on sale for pre-order right now! Full of 30+ recipes that are Sugar Free and delicious! My goal is to provide people with recipes that will make the idea of living a sustainable sugar free lifestyle…even during busy holidays like Thanksgiving a reality!
Not only does The Simply Sugar Free Cookbook feature some yummy sugar free recipes that you and the family will love, but I also share my own sugar free journey with you. Starting with my decision to challenge myself to a year without sugar, and what eventually drove me to create a lifestyle of living sugar free, and teaching others to do the same.

Hi I am just about to make this recipe and I noticed in the ingredients list there is a need for melted coconut oil but is not listed in the instructions as to when and how to use it.
I thought that I should let you know if you did not know before.
Margarita Le Roy says
No se frusten por est de el jarabe de arce porque se puede reemplazar por miel de agabe y la cantidad no es tan grande. El aceite pues si no hay de coco se puede reemplazar por el aceite de la preferencia lo que no sabemos es cuando se usa sera rn el molde para qur la masa no se pegue? .
Margarita Le Roy says
Perdón no se porque escribo la pakabra yme aparece otra. La idea es que eljarabe de arce se reempace por miel de agabe y no nos comoliquemos con el jarabe de arce porque es puro y comoletamente natural.
linda philley says
if it has maple syrup isn’t it not sugar free? i am asking cause we have diabetes
Kelley says
I wish I had a good answer. I would probably avoid this particular dessert if you have diabetes.
Nancy says
Maple sugar would be the equivalent of table sugar in regards to the amount of carbohydrates. It is considered a simple carbohydrate just like white sugar.
Roni says
Can you use sugar free syrup. Also what about the coconut oil ?

Theresa says
This pecan pie is NOT sugar free!!
Kelley says
Hey Theresa! There is no added sugar in this recipe. Maple syrup and Stevia are used in place of white sugar.
Christina says
Sadly I agree with the others. The title is very misleading. I thought this was going to be diabetic friendly.
Kelley says
I apologize. I did not mean to mislead you or anyone else. The recipe does not contain refined sugar therefor – sugar free. It does have a sugar content based on the Stevia and maple syrup though, so I can see your frustration.
Doug says
Don’t worry too much, most of us who have been diabetics for a while know it’s all about portion control. Maple syrup is about 14 grams sugar per tablespoon and fast carbs in the pie dough mean only occasional splurges of pecan pie, but when you splurge go for the good stuff.
Kelley says
Thank you for the kind comment Doug! I totally agree – always go for the good stuff on splurges!
Caroline Hendrix says
Would sugar-free maple syrup work in this recipe?
Kelley says
It should work fine! If you try it, let me know how it turns out Caroline!
Kay says
I was really disappointed to find this recipe contained maple syrup and is not actually sugar free, or even no sugar added. As others have said, whether you intended it or not, it was incredibly misleading. Please use terms like “No added refined sugar” and not “sugar free”.
Amy says
My Lord above! Is that an Ayers pottery pie Baker?
I worked there for several years and I think I recognize that purple ash!
Kelley says
I’m not sure! It was a friends, but it does look like an Ayers to me!
Earl says
I have a question. Is the stevia the pure stevia or is it the blended that measures like sugar? (such as Stevia in the Raw)
Kelley says
Pure stevia for this recipe.
Amy says
I made this recipe and it was delicious! I used sugar free pancake syrup to make it even more sugar free. Thank you for sharing your pie recipe.
Kelley says
Such a great idea! So happy you enjoyed it!
