  • Cook this mixture for 30-45 minutes until zucchini is soft and you have a thick pie filling mixture.
  • Now, get started on the crust. Mix the 10 tablespoons,, almond flour, coconut flour Psyllium powder, and salt together.
  • Beat eggs. Add them to the flour mixture.
  • Combine. Divide. in half. You can refrigerate if you want. It isn't necessary, this recipe is very forgiving. Roll half out. I suggest using something like plastic wrap, wax paper, parchment paper to help transfer the curst.
  • Line your regular pie pan with the crust. Trim the edges. Pinch together any areas that tore.
  • Add pie filling.
  • Roll out the other half and top the pie with it. Press the edges together. Cut our a few slits.
  • Whish an egg and brush or spoon on top of the crust.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. If your edges start to get too dark, create some foil strips, and carefully place over the edges.
  • Allow to cool before slicing.
