Can life get any better than Fried Pies?!?! Yes, it can! Keto Pumpkin Spice Fried Pies! One weekend my husband was making Apple Fritters, non-keto, and I knew that temptation was going to be hard to resist. So, I decided to try and make Keto Fried Pies. They do take a little patience, because at first I thought this stuff isn’t going to hold together, BUT BE PATIENT, because the almond flour does hold together. I was so pleasantly surprised after they were frying up and looking so pretty, yes pretty, lol. Deep fried goodness is always a winner. So, I hope y’all enjoy this recipe and don’t give up when you close the dough and it cracks, because it will, just pat it back together and it will work, I promise.
Keto Pumpkin Spice Fried Pies Ingredients:
- almond flour
- coconut flour
- eggs
- Pyure
- butter
- pumpkin pie spice
- pumpkin
- Swerve Confectioners
There are a variety of artificial sweeteners on the market. I have tried some good, bad and ugly ones, lol. As far as granular artificial sweeteners, I like a sweetener called Pyure. It is a Stevia blend of Erythritol and stevia. It has a grainy texture like real sugar, however too much of it leaves a vanilla taste in your mouth.
Variety of Artificial Sweeteners
- Pyure
- Stevia
- Splenda
- Truvia
- Sweet & Low
- Equal
My Secret Ingredient!
I’m going to let y’all in on my secret ingredient. It is very hard to find, but so worth the hunt. The first time that I had tasted this secret ingredient was about 20 years ago when my mother went to old Mexico and came back with it. What is really surprising is that we baked with one bottle for a good 20 years and it never did spoil. I have never seen it in any of my local supermarkets and everything written on the bottle is in Spanish, but I’ll always recognize the bottle.
So, this past Spring I was at a small nursery buying plants for my garden, a nursery, in a town of less than 2K people and there it set for sale on their shelf, the BEST VANILLA ever! I couldn’t believe it! I figured that I would have to go to old Mexico to find it. Amazing!
