👉 Ingredient substitution suggestions
- Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener: If you don’t have powdered monk fruit sweetener on-hand, simply pulse granulated Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener or Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener in a high-speed blender or food processor until powdered. Allulose will also work here at a 1:1 ratio. You can also choose to powder granulated Swerve or erythritol if you do not have any monk fruit sweetener.
- Sunflower Seed Flour: Almond flour can be substituted at a 1:1 ratio. I would not use coconut flour or gluten-free flour here.
Keep in mind that any changes you make to this recipe may modify the carb content.

💬 FAQs for gluten-free keto pizza
Can ground sunflower seed meal be homemade?
If you do not want to purchase sunflower seed flour (although, I highly recommend you do because it’s a fantastic ingredient to have on hand!), you can simply add raw sunflower seeds to your food processor and pulse until fine. Be sure not to blend for too long or you’ll end up with sunflower seed butter.
Can you make keto gluten-free fruit pizza the day before?
Yes, absolutely. Prepare all of the components (crust, frosting, and toppings) and store them in separate containers in the refrigerator. Then, when you’re ready to serve, assemble each part and cut it into slices.
How should I store the fruit pizza after it’s prepared?
The fully prepared pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but note that the pizza will become softer and the flavor profile may change slightly. If you are making this in advance to serve the next day, store each component of the fruit pizza (crust, frosting, and toppings) separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
