Make delicious, low-carb pecan squares using an almond flour crust and a sweet, sugar-free filling. This recipe is perfect for your ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust: 1 3/4 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit blend, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • For the Filling: 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or allulose, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sweetener, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
  4. Prepare the filling: While the crust bakes, whisk together the granulated sweetener, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter in a separate bowl until smooth.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans gently.
  6. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the warm, pre-baked crust.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Let the keto pecan bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
  9. Cut into 16 squares before serving.

Notes

  • For a slightly different texture, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but reduce the amount to 1 cup and add an extra tablespoon of melted butter to the crust mixture.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the granulated erythritol with allulose in the filling.
  • Cooling completely is crucial for clean slicing; chilling the bars for an hour before cutting helps them hold their shape.
