Ingredients
For the Crust:

For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Press each portion of dough into the mini muffin tin cups, forming a mini pie crust. Use your fingers to press the dough evenly along the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Stir in the erythritol until it dissolves.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract and egg yolk until well combined.
Assemble and Bake:
- Divide the chopped pecans evenly among the prepared mini pie crusts.
- Pour the buttery filling over the pecans in each crust, filling about 3/4 of the way.
Bake:
- Place the mini muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pecan pie bites from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes.
- Gently remove the pie bites from the tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
