There isn't a more classic Thanksgiving dessert recipe than Pecan Pie. Maybe you thought because you're on a diabetes diet that dessert was off-limits. That's not the case, especially with our lightened up version of this holiday favorite!
What You'll Need
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 tablespoon fat-free milk, cold
- 3/4 cup liquid egg substitute
- 2 tablespoon SPLENDA sugar substitute
- 1 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup margarine, light
- 1 cup pecan halves
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a 9-inch pie plate, combine whole wheat, all-purpose flour, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and milk and pour over the flour mixture. Using a fork, mix until completely moistened. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the plate.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs with the sugar substitute. Stir in syrup, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir in pecans. Pour into pie crust.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until filling is puffed and pie is golden brown. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
