  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • Chopped pecans: Mix some chopped pecans into the pumpkin batter or sprinkle it on top before baking for extra texture and crunch.
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut: If you love tropical flavors, add some unsweetened coconut shreds to the batter. 
  • Cacao nibs: Sprinkle some cacao nibs on top before baking for a slight chocolatey crunch that complements the pumpkin flavor.

  • Spatula
  • Piping bag (optional for filling)
  • Mini muffin tins

Tools Substitute Options

Cooking methods

  • Baking

Cooking instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your mini muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, erythritol, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and melted butter until combined to form the crust mixture.
  5. Press a small amount of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin cavity, flattening it with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
  6. Spoon the pumpkin filling over the crust in each cavity, filling each one about ¾ full.
  7. Lightly tap the filled muffin pan against the kitchen counter to even out the filling and remove any air bubbles.
  8. Put the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. 
  9. Cool the bites in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Chef's pro tip

When you are making this recipe, ensure you are not underbaking the pie bites, or else you'll be left with soft and mushy centers. To avoid this, insert a toothpick into the center of a bite to check for doneness. It should come out mostly clean with just a few crumbs. If it’s still wet, give it another 2-3 minutes in the oven.

What To Serve With Keto Pumpkin Pie Bites

  • Serve your pumpkin pie bites warm with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for the best fall dessert experience. 
  • Pair them with a cup of coffee or a hot keto-friendly beverage for a delightful treat.

How To Make It Healthier

  • Reduce sweetener: Decrease the amount of erythritol in the pumpkin batter for a less sweet bite.
  • Boost fiber: Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to the crust mixture for added fiber.

What Can I Prepare Ahead Of Time?

  • Crust mixture: Mix the crust ingredients ahead of time and store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. 

Storage And Reheating Instructions

Storage tips

  • Refrigerator: Store the leftover keto pumpkin bites in an airtight container. They will remain fresh for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Place the pies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They will remain fresh for up to one month.

Reheating best practice

  • Warm the pie bites in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, pumpkin can be part of your keto diet in moderation. It's relatively low in net carbs compared to other vegetables.

Both are great options, but if you want convenience, go for canned pumpkin puree—just make sure it's 100% pure with no added sugars! Homemade puree, on the other hand, gives a fresher taste and allows you to control the texture.

To make keto pumpkin puree at home, cut a sugar pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and roast it face down on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 45-60 minutes. Finally, scoop out the flesh and blend without any sugar or sweeteners until smooth.

It's best not to prepare the pie filling ahead of time, as it has raw eggs. For best results, mix the batter just before baking.

Homemade pumpkin pie spice typically includes a blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice — bringing all the warm, cozy flavors of fall right into your kitchen!
