Ingredients
- 7 oz (198 g) fine almond flour (I use King Arthur brand)
- 2 scoops (0.7 oz/ 20 g) powdered collagen peptides, plain
- 7 oz (198 g) Swerve granular (or similar), divided
- pinch sea salt
- 1 (15 oz/ 439 g) can pumpkin purée (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 1/2 c (12 fl oz/ 355 ml) heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 20 drops vanilla flavored liquid stevia
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 oz (43 g) pecan pieces, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 oz (43 g) walnut pieces, roughly chopped
- 2 sticks (8 oz/ 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 13″x9″ baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, collagen peptides, pinch salt, and half the Swerve (3 1/2 oz weight). Mix well so all ingredients are well distributed and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin, heavy cream, eggs, the remaining half (3 1/2 oz weight) Swerve, liquid stevia, vanilla, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined and all the sweetener is dissolved into the mixture.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the top of the pumpkin with the almond flour mixture until it is well and evenly covered.
- Sprinkle the pecans and walnuts over the top of the almond flour mixture, then drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden and looks set. It will still be a little jiggly when you remove it from the oven, and that’s OK.
- Let the baked dish stand to cool for 15-20 minutes, then cover well and refrigerate until completely chilled and set. This will be a minimum of four hours.
- Slice into 32 squares and serve, as desired. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
