Steviva Blogger Challenge: Low Carb/Low Sugar Mini Pumpkin Pies #Steviva #Nectiva #sponsored

Disclaimer: I received free product for the purpose of this post, and an incentive of a potential cash prize if my recipe is chosen as a winner. As usual, I would never share a product I didn't support or highlight a company I did not agree with.

Hello all and welcome to my contribution to the Steviva Blogger Challenge! Bloggers were challenged to make either a sweet or savory dish using a Steviva product. I actually really like Stevia, it's my sweetener of choice when I'm trying to avoid sugar. Unlike other artificial sweeteners, stevia comes from a plant, and therefore is less chemical-laden.

For these mini low carb pumpkin pies, I used the Nectivia syrup. It's half stevia, half agave, so it has 1/4th of the carbs and calories of sugar or agave.


Friends sampled these for me, and they were definitely a win. Especially with an extra drizzle or two of syrup and a dollop of coconut cream on top!

Let me know what you think of these low carb, low sugar mini pumpkin pies!


Low Carb Low Sugar Mini Pumpkin Pies for the Steviva Blogger Challenge
for the crust

  • 2 cups almond meal
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp coconult milk
  • 2 tbsp nectivia

For the filling

  • 1 can pureed pumpkin
  • 1/2 can coconut cream (reserve the rest of the can for the topping!)
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup nectivia


-Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper wrappers and spray with cooking oil of choice.

-Prepare the crust by putting all ingredients into a food processor and pulsing until it forms a dough. Use a bit extra coconut milk or almond meal until the desired consistency is reached.

-Roll out the dough to 1/4" thickness and cut out circles that are slightly larger than your muffin tin wells. Press the dough into the tins and smooth out any wrinkles.

-Prepare the filling by whipping all the ingredients together until they are a uniform color. Spoon into the crusts until nearly full, just enough to ensure the filling won't spill out during transport.

-Bake for 40 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is set.

-Top with extra coconut cream and a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice.
