Ever since I posted my favorite almond flour pie crust recipe , I’ve been getting requests asking how to make pie crust with coconut flour! So here it is. Low carb, gluten-free coconut flour pie crust!

Obviously, you can use this coconut flour pie crust recipe for any low carb pie recipe. Try using it for low carb pumpkin pie , savory spinach pie , or even no-bake key lime pie if you don’t mind baking the crust.

But based on feedback I’ve been getting, you might love it even more as a crust for my keto low carb cheesecake ! That one uses almond flour, and I get a lot of questions on how to make the cheesecake crust with coconut flour. Now you can use this coconut flour pie crust recipe as a substitute. Yay!

If you need to make a pie with a top crust, this paleo pie crust is a great option. It’s “slow carb” with just a touch of tapioca flour to make it sturdy enough for the top crust, and you can use a low carb sweetener in it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need five ingredients to make this buttery pie crust using coconut flour. And, they are all common ones that you probably have around if you do gluten-free or low carb baking:

  • Coconut flour
  • Butter
  • Besti, or any granulated sweetener (skip it for savory crust!)
  • Sea salt
  • Eggs

I also like to add vanilla extract when making a sweet pie crust with coconut flour.

How To Make Pie Crust With Coconut Flour

The key to making a butter-y pie crust with coconut flour is – surprise! – to use lots of butter. Cold butter. Fat is key for keeping coconut flour for getting dry (much like my coconut flour pancakes ).

To mix the coconut flour pie crust ingredients well enough, we use a food processor. You may be able to achieve this using a hand mixer or stand mixer too, but doing it by hand would be challenging.

The process is very simple. Pulse the coconut flour, cold butter, sweetener (if using), and sea salt until the mixture is crumbly. Add the eggs and vanilla (if using).

Viola – you have coconut flour pie dough! It will be dense and sometimes a little crumbly, but should stick together well when pressed.

Before pressing the dough into the pan, make sure it’s lined with parchment paper first

How to Line The Bottom of the Pan

You just need a circle for the bottom. Fold a square piece of parchment paper in half, then in half again.

Flip the pan over and place the corner of the parchment square into the center of the bottom, then cut in a quarter-circle along the edge. Unfold it and you have a perfect circle that will fit into the bottom of your pie pan!

Turn the pan the right way again and place the parchment paper at the bottom. I usually grease the sides of the pan a little too, just in case.

Now you can press the coconut flour pie dough into the pan!

How Long To Bake?

Like with most gluten-free pie crust recipes, bake it before adding any filling. Poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling.

Place the pan into the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, until it’s firm and just barely golden on the edges. Then take it out and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before adding filling. This will let it firm up more and reduce the chance of absorbing the filling into the crust.

If the filling needs to be baked again, you can cover the edges of the coconut flour crust with foil to prevent burning. Either way, let the pie cool completely before cutting, so that it stays together better.

Make Ahead Coconut Flour Pie Crust

Can you make pie crust with coconut flour in advance? Yes! If you’ll be eating it within 24 hours, leaving it on the counter is fine.

If it’s up to a few days, you can keep the crust in the fridge. It definitely stores better without filling, but a couple days with filling will work fine, too.

You can also freeze the coconut flour pie crust. I prefer to freeze it after baking, but before adding any filling. That being said, if your filling can withstand freezing and thawing, that can work okay too. It just depends on the kind of pie you want to make!

Serving Ideas

You can use this coconut flour pie crust recipe for any of these keto pies:

  • Keto Apple Pie
  • Keto Pecan Pie
  • Keto Pumpkin Pie

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Pick A ProteinPick A VeggieAdd Fat
Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder VenisonCauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama CeleryButter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Keto foods to eat and avoid summary - 14

Foods To Eat On Keto

  • Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
  • Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
  • Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
  • Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
  • Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
  • Avocados
  • Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
  • Almond flour and coconut flour
  • Eggs

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

SodiumMagnesiumPotassium
Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts PicklesSeaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greensPotassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

  • Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
  • Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
  • Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
  • Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
