The best low-carb & keto pies: Savory and sweet

By Jill Wallentin – Updated November 9, 2026

A homemade pie is the perfect comfort food. Whether you’re looking for an easy family dinner, something to bring to a potluck, or a delicious dessert, our low-carb and keto pie recipes offer plenty of inspiration.

Traditional pie crusts are usually made with wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates and contains gluten. Our recipes use gluten-free, low-carb alternatives such as almond flour and coconut flour, so you can enjoy homemade pies without traditional wheat-based crusts.

And if you prefer to skip the crust altogether? Many savory pie fillings are just as delicious baked without one, making them a simple option for a satisfying low-carb meal.

How to make the perfect low-carb pie crust

A great pie starts with a delicious crust, but you don’t need traditional wheat flour to make one.

Many of our keto pie recipes use almond flour or other gluten-free, low-carb ingredients to create a flavorful base. Depending on the recipe, the crust can be tender, crisp, or slightly crumbly.

For the best results, follow the recipe rather than substituting regular flour with almond or coconut flour in equal amounts. These ingredients absorb moisture differently and need different proportions of fat, eggs, and liquids.

Perfect for dinner, leftovers, and meal prep

Savory pies are incredibly versatile. They’re perfect for using up leftover meat, chicken, cheese, and vegetables, and many taste just as good the next day.

Try our popular low-carb meat pie for a hearty family dinner, or choose something lighter, such as our avocado pie or spinach and goat cheese pie.

Most savory pies are delicious served warm with a fresh green salad. Leftovers also make a convenient lunch, and many baked pies can be frozen in individual portions for another day.

Frequently asked questions about keto pies

Can you eat pie on a keto diet?

Yes! Traditional pies are often high in carbohydrates because of the flour-based crust and, in sweet pies, added sugar. Keto pie recipes use lower-carb ingredients to make alternatives that can fit into a ketogenic diet.

What is the best flour for a keto pie crust?

Almond flour is a popular choice for keto pie crusts because of its mild, nutty flavor and relatively low carbohydrate content. Coconut flour can also work well in recipes developed specifically for it, but the two flours aren’t directly interchangeable.

Are Diet Doctor’s low-carb pies gluten-free?

Yes! All recipes on Diet Doctor are gluten-free, including our savory and sweet low-carb pies. Instead of traditional wheat flour, our pie crusts use gluten-free alternatives such as almond flour and coconut flour. If you have celiac disease, always check packaged ingredients for possible gluten cross-contact.

Can I make a low-carb pie without a crust?

Absolutely! Many savory pie fillings can be baked without a crust, creating a dish similar to a crustless quiche. Cooking times and texture may vary, so choose a recipe designed for crustless baking when possible.

Can you freeze low-carb pies?

Many savory low-carb pies freeze well once fully cooked and cooled. For convenience, divide them into individual portions before freezing. The texture of some crusts and fillings may change slightly after thawing.

What can I serve with a savory keto pie?

A fresh green salad, roasted low-carb vegetables, or a simple creamy dressing can turn a slice of savory pie into a complete meal.
