My Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp Recipe is one of my favorite easy desserts to make. When pumpkin season hits, everyone is always sharing their favorite recipes, and I love how simple this one is to throw together. It definitely satisfies the cravings for something sweet, but still stays in my keto macros.
Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp
My mom is a fantastic cook. She always makes the biggest Thanksgiving spread complete with a Sweet Potato Souffle topped with a pecan crunch topping that is absolutely amazing. As I have been working on creating several different new recipes for fall, I thought that I might be able to tweak her recipe for Sweet Potato Souffle and transform it into a Keto / Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp.
I never know how a recipe is going to turn out when I start testing, but this one came together quickly. In fact, I had three people who do not follow a Ketogenic lifestyle give it a try, and they all loved it. My hubby is a huge fan of pumpkin, so he was super excited about Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp. If you add a little homemade whipped topping, it is divine!
I’ve included a step by step pictorial below for your convenience. Scroll down towards the bottom of the post for the printable recipe page and nutritional information.
Using a substitute for the traditional sugar is a must. Swerve granulated sugar substitute or Monkfruit white are both great options. You can easily substitute another option that fits into your macros.
Serving Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp
Your family is going to love this pumpkin crisp recipe. It has a great pumpkin flavor with that crispy topping and crunch you are looking for in a crisp. The best part is that your non-dieting family and friends will love it as much as you do! This means no separate section on the dessert buffet. Low Carb Pumpkin Crisp fits right in line with everyone else!
For those non-keto family members, you can have some ice cream on hand to top the crisp. Otherwise, you can use a homemade whipped cream for a light topping.

August 28, 2018 at 6:17 pmHi Kasey,
When you make this for your family, what do you use in place of the nuts since your daughter is allergic? I am also allergic, but would lover to make this somehow. Would it still be good if I just eliminated the pecans altogether?
Thanks so much! I love your recipes!!!

Kasey says
September 18, 2018 at 4:19 pmI made my daughter a separate bowl with no pecans. Thank you so very much!
Taylor says
September 20, 2018 at 1:24 pmCould i cook this in a croc pot on low while i’m at work? 8hr shift
Kasey says
October 1, 2018 at 10:32 pmI am not sure as I’ve only made it as is.
Jamie J Canella says
September 27, 2018 at 12:19 pmCan you leave out the Monkfruit? I do not care for the flavor of it.
Kasey says
October 1, 2018 at 10:41 pmThat is up to you. I can’t guarantee how it would turn out as I’ve only tested it as is. Swerve would be a good option as it is usually interchangeable with Monkfruit.
Janice says
September 30, 2018 at 3:36 pmHi Kasey, this looks very similar to a non Keto recipe I had. I would like to try this this Thanksgiving but I don’t have Monkfruit golden but I’ll have Sukrin Gold brown sugar substation can I use that in place and would it be that amount?
Kasey says
October 1, 2018 at 10:08 pmI think it will be fine.
Robin says
October 20, 2018 at 7:54 pmnever heard of sum of this stuff, can you use just sugar, flour, for coconut flour, and whats monkfruit
Kasey says
October 28, 2018 at 6:04 pmThis is a keto/low carb recipe for those following a keto or low carb diet. Regular sugar and flour will not work in this recipe. Monkfruit is a keto friendly sugar free sugar substitute.
Sandy says
October 22, 2018 at 2:56 amWondering if I could use stevia instead of swerve as that tends to bother me? And what would be the the amount? Or at least can you make it with less amount of swerve? This looks so good. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe!
Kasey says
October 28, 2018 at 6:00 pmI have only made it as is so I’m not sure how much Stevia you would need. Feel free to adjust the Swerve to your personal liking. You are very welcome.
Carrie says
October 27, 2018 at 6:21 pmWhat is serving size?
Kasey says
October 28, 2018 at 5:13 pmThe number of servings is listed at the top of the recipe card. I don’t measure I just divide the recipe evenly.
Kari says
October 28, 2018 at 10:41 amCan I use half and half as that’s all I have:)
Kasey says
October 28, 2018 at 5:05 pmI’ve only made the recipe as is so I can’t say from personal experience but I would think it would be fine.
Margaret Freeman says
November 1, 2018 at 12:46 pmThis was very yummy but too sweet. NExt time I will cut sweetener by a third
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 1:09 pmAwesome! Glad you liked them!
Taira says
November 13, 2018 at 7:32 pmDo you think this could be made with coconut cream in place of the whipping cream? Dairy bothers me.
Kasey says
November 14, 2018 at 4:53 pmPossibly. I’ve only made it as is so I’m not completely sure.
Amy says
November 14, 2018 at 2:21 pmHi I’m wondering can I use coconut sugar in place of sweetener n in place of monkfruit as well also I do not like taste of coconut flour I love almond flour can I use this instead thank u
Kasey says
November 14, 2018 at 4:50 pmMost that follow a keto diet avoid coconut sugar since it is a form of regular sugar. Also, the Monkfruit in this recipe is Monkfruit Golden, which is a sugar-free brown sugar sub. You can use almond flour but you’ll need 4x as much.
Thanks!

November 15, 2018 at 3:06 amHi Kasey,
I made the pumpkin crisp tonight. I used Swerve confectioners instead of the granulated. (That’s what I had). I found that after 40 min it was still really not setting up at all, ended up going to 55 min. It was still pretty gooey. It tasted great!! ?❤️
My question is, could the granular vs the confections Swerve make that much difference? Should I try it with 1/4 C of cream to thicken it? Any other tips you might have would be great.
Really tasty with homemade Keto whipped cream!
Thanks!

June 10, 2019 at 10:56 pmHey, Nancy, I haven’t tried it with the granulated. It definitely could change the consistency of it.

Sherry says
November 17, 2018 at 2:38 pmWhat is the best way to store this?
Kasey says
June 10, 2019 at 11:06 pmRefrigerate and reheat.
tina Williams says
December 20, 2018 at 4:25 pmCan you substitute the pumpkin with sweet potatoes?
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 2:19 pmSure but the carb count will change.
Teresa says
December 21, 2018 at 1:20 amCan you freeze the KetoPecan Crisp
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 2:38 pmNot sure. I’ve never tried.
Tish says
January 8, 2019 at 8:53 amHi Kasey, I made this dish exactly as the recipe but it was super, super sweet. Almost on the brink of too sweet to eat for my taste. Any thoughts of what to do to tone the sweetness down post production?
Kasey says
February 23, 2019 at 4:21 pmNot sure how to tone the sweetness down after it is already made. Not sure why it turned out too sweet. This is a hit at our house.
Michele says
April 1, 2019 at 6:02 pmMine isn’t cooking. I’ve been cooking it at 350 deg for 55 min and it’s still jiggling. I followed the directions….???
Kasey says
April 3, 2019 at 11:50 pmIt is more of a souffle type texture.
