Keto Chia Pumpkin Pie!

Here is the one of the healthiest Pumpkin Pies you will ever eat, and it tastes exactly like real Pumpkin Pie, minus the crust!

In a Ninja or Food Processor, blend the following ingredients:

1-29 ounce can of pureed Pumpkin.

1-13.5 ounce can of Coconut Cream.

1-cup (8 ounces) of purified water.

20- tablespoons of Chia Seeds. I mostly use Anthony’s, but I use other brands as well. Anthony’s Organic Chia Seeds

2-Tablespoons Ceylon Cinnamon. Organic Ceylon Cinnamon Powder

1-Tablespoon All-Spice.

2-teaspoons powdered or fresh shredded ginger.

4-Tablespoons Allulose Sweetener (this lowers blood sugars and helps counter the insulin spike from other carbohydrates). Allulose Sweetener

3-Teaspoons Organic Sweet-Leaf Stevia Powder. Now Foods Better Stevia Certified Organic Extract Powder

1.) Blend until smooth and thoroughly mixed. You may have to stop and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping along the sides of the blender bowl with a scraper, to make sure everything is evenly mixed.

2.) Once everything is evenly blended, pour into large 9 x 13 container, either glass, or plastic, etc. 

3.) Chop up about 1-1/2 cups Pecans and distribute on top of the Chia Pudding.

4.) Drizzle real Maple Syrup on top, or use my Keto Maple Syrup Recipe, which has zero carbs. See the Keto Maple Syrup Recipe below.

5.) Let chill in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 8 hours.

6.) Make homemade whipped cream, using heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and sweetener of your choice. I used my Keto Maple Syrup to sweeten my whipped cream.

Keto Maple Syrup:

1.) Fill up a 32 ounce Mason Jar with Allulose Syrup. This is the brand that I buy on Amazon. You can also buy it in bulk in one of these large pouches. Zero Carbs Allulose Syrup

2.) Add 2 Tablespoons Maple Extract, or according to your taste buds. If you think it needs more, add more as desired. Olive Nation: Pure Maple Extract

3.) Add 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract, or according to your taste buds. If you think it needs more, add more as desired.

4.) Add 2 Teaspoons Organic Sweet-Leaf Stevia Powder, or adjust to your own taste buds. NOW BRAND: Better Stevia

4.) Stir all ingredients, add a plastic lid and shake!

I like to use these spouts that I purchase on Amazon, for easy pouring.

Here are some more Nutritional Facts about this Chia Pudding:

1.) First, there are very few carbohydrates in this Chia Pudding, which means that it will not spike your Insulin, and that means it is healthy for those with Insulin Resistance or Diabetics. 

See the nutritional label on the back of Anthonys Chia Seeds. As you can see, once the dietary fiber is subtracted, the net carbs is only 1 gram per tablespoon! 

Plus, Chia Seeds are known to help reduce belly fat!

Chia Seeds are a perfect Super-Food, because they are loaded with just the right ration of Omega Fatty Acids.



I have found that using Chia Seeds instead of eggs in my recipes, greatly improves the texture of the recipe, and I have fantastic digestion using these instead of eggs!

2.) The Allulose Sweetener is known to lower blood sugar and counter the carbohydrates in other foods, which means this sweetener is a game changer! 

1 teaspoon of Allulose is 4 grams of carbohydrates, but when you consider the fact that it lowers blood sugars, you wont care about those 4 grams.



3.) Ideally, I prefer to use Pumpkin puree that I bake myself from a fresh Pumpkin. However, if you are in a hurry, you can find Organic Non-GMO canned Pumpkin in a can. This one by Libbys is only 10 grams of carbohydrates per 5 ounce serving, minus the 3 grams of fiber, which means the net carbs per 5 ounce serving is only 7 grams of carbohydrates.


4.) Not all Stevia Sweeteners are created the same. The ones that you purchase in grocery stores often have unwanted and unhealthy ingredients in them, such as Aspartame, Maltodextrin, Dextrose, or Sucralose.

When purchasing Stevia, make sure to use only Organic 100% Sweet Leaf Stevia Powder, like this brand I like to use by NOW.

The reason why I use Stevia in addition to Allulose, is because Allulose is only 70% as sweet as regular table sugar, whereas Stevia has 250-300 times the sweetness of sugar, making it ideal for adding the right amount of sweetness to recipes. 

Allulose alone does not sweeten things enough for my taste buds, but I use it for the express purpose of lowering blood sugar.

Stevia also has zero carbohydrates and will not spike blood sugars. I usually sweeten most things with a blend of Stevia to achieve the bulk of the sweetness desired. But then, I add Allulose to counter any carbohydrates present in the recipe. The combination makes things taste perfect in my opinion!


5.) Organic Coconut Cream contains approximately 5 grams of carbs per 4 ounce serving.


6.) Ceylon Cinnamon also has tremendous health benefits as compared to Cassia Cinnamon, such as lowering blood sugar and Insulin. It also contains Anti-cancer properties, and Antioxidants.
See the links below:




7.) The Pecans are a great alternative to the crust you would normally consume with Pies, and they contain many health benefits as well.





All-in-all, this Keto Chia Pumpkin Pie is extremely low in carbohydrates compared to one slice of Pumpkin Pie! 

As you can see, one slice of Pumpkin Pie contains 323 calories, 46 grams of Carbohydrates, and 25 grams of sugar!


I have not added up all the carbohydrates in one serving of this Keto Chia Pumpkin Pie, because it is too difficult to quantify how much of each ingredient is present in each serving.

However, consider these facts:

1.) Chia Seeds contain only one gram of carbs per tablespoon.

2.) Allulose contains 4 grams of carbs per teaspoon, but you dont need much to achieve the results of lowering your Insulin and blood sugars.

3.) Canned Pumpkin is only 7 grams of carbs per 5 ounce serving.

4.) Stevia has zero carbs.

5.) Coconut Cream has 5 grams of carbs per 4 ounces.

6.) The Cinnamon, Allspice and Ginger contain minimal amounts of carbohydrates, and Ceylon Cinnamon is known to lower blood sugar as well.

7.) The Keto Allulose Maple Syrup that I drizzle on top is also very low in carbs, and you can even use it on other recipes, such as Pumpkin Spice Waffles or Pancakes.

8.) Pecans contain 4 grams of carbs per ounce, and they are loaded with many health benefits.


The next time you are craving Pumpkin Pie, just make this instead, and you won
t even miss the pie---trust me! 

Especially when you top it with homemade whipped cream!
