Instructions
1
Prepare and Press Crust
Start by heating your oven to 300°F (150°C) and give a 6-cup muffin pan a good spray with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, a tablespoon of sweetener, flax seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt—make sure to break up any lumps in the flour. Stir in the melted butter until everything is combined. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottoms of each muffin cup.
2
Bake and prepare filling
Pop the pan in the oven and bake the crusts for about 10 to 15 minutes, until they start to turn golden. Once done, take them out and let them cool for around 15 minutes. While the crusts are cooling, beat together the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the rest of the sweetener, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little salt, mixing until everything is well blended.
3
Add Filling and Bake
Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crusts, then sprinkle some pecans on top. Bake again for 18 to 20 minutes, until the filling is set. When they’re finished, take the pan out and let the cheesecakes cool on a wire rack for about half an hour. Then pop the whole pan in the fridge for another 30 minutes to chill.

Loosen Cheesecakes from Pan
When you’re ready to enjoy, gently run a knife around each cheesecake to loosen them from the pan, and they’re ready to serve!
