For the Crust:
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons keto maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or butter
-
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or butter
- 5 tablespoons keto maple syrup
- 2/3 cup allulose or brown Swerve
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 cups pecans roughly chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, keto maple syrup, and coconut oil. Mix until crumbly but cohesive.
3. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine coconut oil, keto syrup, allulose, vanilla, and salt. Stir over medium heat until bubbling.
5. Add chopped pecans to the bubbling mixture and cook for 1 minute.
6. Remove crust from oven and pour caramel pecan topping evenly over the base.
7. Bake for 5 more minutes until the topping bubbles slightly.
8. Let cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.
9. Use a hot knife to cut for clean edges.
Make sure to fully chill the bars before slicing for clean results.
Substitute butter for coconut oil if preferred.
Allulose creates a smoother caramel, but brown Swerve will also work well.
Bars can be frozen for up to 6 months.
