Keto Pecan Pie Bars

Try these keto pecan bars for a healthy holiday treat! I've taken the classic pecan pie recipe and have given it a French twist. My bars are topped with a moist and buttery pecan frangipane mix.

Ingredients

  • almond flour

    200g

    2 c
  • allulose

    or a brown sugar substitute

    2 tbsp
  • cinnamon
    1 tsp
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • egg

    large, room temperature

    1
  • butter

    room temperature

    3 tbsp
  • almond extract

    optional

    1 tsp
  • butter

    114g

    ½ c
  • pecan halves

    150g

    1 ½ c
  • allulose
    ⅝ c
  • egg

    large, room temperature

    1
  • egg yolk
    1
  • cinnamon

    or pumpkin spice mix

    2 tsp
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • pecan halves
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F. Line a 25x15 cm rectangular pan with parchment paper.

Crust

  1. 1

    Place the flour, sweetener, cinnamon and salt in the food processor and pulse briefly. Add the butter, almond extract and egg and blend until the mixture forms a ball. Alternatively, stir together with a fork, then knead until a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Press the dough into the cake pan with your hands. (Option to roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and have it thinner, reaching up the sides of the pan like when making a pie.)

Pecan filling

  1. 1

    Optional step: Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden, stirring continuously. About 5 minutes. Take care that it does not burn! Let it cool to lukewarm.

  2. 2

    Blend the pecans in a food processor to a flour. Add the cooled butter, sweetener, 1 egg and 1 additional egg yolk, vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix until well-combined. Add the filling on top of the crust and smooth with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

  3. 3

    Top with pecan halves and bake for 30 minutes or until browned. You want the top to be set and the inside to be still jiggly. Let cool before cutting.

About this Recipe

Craving a classic holiday treat without the sugar crash? These Keto Pecan Pie Bars offer all the rich, nutty flavor you adore, reimagined for a healthier celebration. Get ready to indulge guilt-free this season.

What sets these bars apart is their unique French twist: a moist and buttery pecan frangipane mix crowns a tender, shortbread-like crust. This clever combination delivers the satisfying texture and deep flavor of traditional pecan pie in a convenient, low-carb bar format, making it a truly special healthy holiday treat.

Get ready for a delightful sensory experience. You'll bite into a crisp, slightly salty almond flour crust that perfectly balances the sweet, caramelized notes of the pecan frangipane topping. The filling is incredibly moist and buttery, studded with generous pecan halves that provide a pleasant textural contrast. The blend of cinnamon and vanilla infuses every bite with comforting warmth. This recipe is an approachable baking project, with only 10 minutes of active prep time and 30 minutes in the oven, making it ideal for a festive dessert that feels elegant but isn't overly complicated. Despite its indulgence, each bar contains 315 calories, offering a satisfying treat.

Tailoring these keto pecan bars to your pantry or preferences is easy. If you don't have allulose, feel free to use your preferred brown sugar substitute in both the crust and the frangipane. For an extra layer of seasonal spice, you can swap the cinnamon in the topping for a pumpkin spice mix.

These elegant bars are perfect for holiday gatherings, potlucks, or simply as a special treat with your afternoon coffee. They shine as a festive dessert and are sure to impress guests looking for a delicious, healthy option.
