A delicious, low-carb twist on a classic dessert. These Keto Pecan Pie Bars are the perfect treat for the holidays, featuring a buttery almond flour crust and a rich, toasted pecan topping.
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Spread pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast for 7-8 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool slightly, then chop roughly (leave some whole). Set aside in a mixing bowl.
While pecans toast, make the crust: combine almond flour, 1/3 cup powdered sweetener, 1/3 cup melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a food processor. Blend until well combined. Press mixture evenly into a 9x9 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
For the topping: in a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sweetener, and 1/4 cup powdered sweetener. Simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla and cinnamon.
Pour the warm topping over the toasted pecans in the bowl. Toss well to coat. Spread this mixture evenly over the baked crust. Bake for 20 minutes.
Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until fully set. Cut into bars and serve.
