Low Carb Recipe Ideas
There is no reason to buy a pre-made crust from the store that inevitably loaded with unhealthy ingredients. When you can make this Low Carb Graham Wafer Crust in minutes. What takes the time is toasting the almond flour, the rest is simple with a total of 4 ingredients.
This one wont fall apart! It’s perfectly tender and can be used in any recipe that calls for a graham cracker crust.
It is my go-to Low Carb graham cracker crust recipe and it’s easy, there’s know baking, inexpensive, and the taste and texture are far superior to anything you’ll buy at the store.
Whether or not you bake a graham cracker crust before filling is up to you! Leaving it unbaked is a simple option that will yield a softer crust, while baking the crust will melt the butter and sugar to bond or “set” the crust, making it more firm. Either way, your Low Carb Graham Cracker Crust will turn out delicious!
So lets get started and I will show you how to make it!
2 cups of toasted almond flour
1/2 cup powdered erythritol/monk fruit
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup melted salt butter
Place a skillet on medium heat, add the almond flour.
Constantly stir approximately 10 minutes to toast the almond flour until it’s golden. This technique adds flavor to the almonds and gives it that graham wafer flavor.
I placed my burner at number 6 and when the element turned red I would lift the pan off the burner and stir to move the almonds around. Once the element shuts off I place the pan back on the element and frequently stir. Repeat this process until the almonds are golden in colour.
Please watch the video for more details.
You must be very attentive when toasting the almond flour you do not want it to burn!
In a mixing bowl add the toasted almond flour along with the cinnamon, sweetener, and salt. Stir to combine.
Gradually add in the butter and mix to combine.
Press the crust into the bottom of the pie plate.
Store in refrigerator.
Tip: I made a few batches and stored them in a mason jar for the next dessert I decide to make!
