1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla flavor)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred sweetener)

1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans, chopped
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.

Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
