Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free version)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 tbsp light butter, melted
• 2 tbsp brown sugar substitute
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp water

For the Nutella Filling:

• ½ cup Nutella (or any chocolate-hazelnut spread)
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (for added creaminess and protein)
• ¼ cup sugar substitute (erythritol, monk fruit, etc.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the melted butter, brown sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Add water one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together.
5. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use your fingers or a spoon to make sure it’s evenly spread.
6. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool for a few minutes while you prepare the filling.

Make the Nutella Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Nutella, egg, Greek yogurt, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
2. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, stir in the dark chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate.
3. Pour the Nutella mixture into the cooled pie crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.

Bake the Pie

1. Place the pie back into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
2. Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.

Serve & Enjoy

Once chilled, slice the pie into wedges and serve. For an extra touch, top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of additional Nutella.
