Ingredients List
Pro Tips and FAQs
Do I need to bake this crust?
No, you don’t have to pre-bake this sugar free graham cracker crust but it is recommended.Pre-baking helps to retain the crispness in the crust. It is important to bake if you are using liquidy filling, to keep it from getting too soggy. It is certainly safe to eat unbaked, but baking is recommended.
Is this recipe keto-friendly?
I am not a keto diet expert, but the cereal used in this recipe is a keto-friendly cereal and the butter and sweetener are used in many keto recipes. So this should be keto-friendly.
Can I substitute the sweetener?
I mention in many of my recipes that substituting ingredients can change nutritional values. If you have a preferred sweetener that you like to use, by all means. Make whatever alterations suit your taste and needs, keeping in mind that it can alter the nutritional information. I find that some sweeteners, that contain sugar alcohols have an adverse effect on my blood sugar, so I stick to Splenda or a Splenda stevia blend whenever possible.
Can I use oil instead of butter?
A non-flavoured oil, such as canola oil can easily be used in place of butter. Use the same amount of oil as butter. The calories in canola oil are slightly higher but it should not affect the carbs. You may want to add a pinch of salt to the recipe if using oil. Olive oil is not recommended as it alters the flavour.
Storing and freezing information.
Storing this crust works best if the crust is pre-baked. Store a prebaked crust in an airtight container for a few days refrigerated or frozen for up to 3 months.
Thawing Tip!
If you see any moisture in the crust when thawing, place it in a warm oven (an oven heated and turned off) for about 10 minutes. The oven should not be hot. Turn your oven on to 175 F (80C) and when it reaches the set temperature, turn it off. That will be warm enough to remove any moisture that has appeared on the surface of the crust.
