This Healthy & Low-Calorie Pecan Pie delivers the same rich caramel flavor and crunchy pecan topping you love — but with a clean, lighter ingredient list and a fraction of the calories. Traditional pecan pie is loaded with corn syrup, butter, and sugar; this version uses pure maple syrup, egg whites, almond flour, and a lighter pecan topping for a perfectly sweet, gooey, and guilt-free holiday dessert.
It’s the ideal dessert for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any time you want a luxurious treat that aligns with healthy eating.
