These pecan protein bars taste like pure indulgence but are secretly keto-friendly! The base is wonderfully dense and cookie-like, while the sticky pecan topping gives you that classic pecan pie experience in every bite. Made with Keto Chow for a protein boost and allulose for that authentic gooey texture - no weird aftertaste here! I love enjoying one slightly chilled straight from the fridge for a satisfying afternoon treat, or letting it get to room temperature when I want that extra-melty pecan layer. They're perfect for meal prep too - just slice and store for grab-and-go snacks all week! And the best part? They come together in under 15 minutes of active time, with just a quick chill required before slicing.
INGREDIENTS-
Base
1 serving (packet or scoop or 1/2 cup) Keto Chow (vanilla or caramel flavor)
3 tbsp almond flour
1/4 cup almond or pecan butter, warmed
1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
1 tbsp liquid allulose (the honey substitute works best)
Sticky Pecan Topping
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp granulated allulose
2 tbsp heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans
INSTRUCTIONS-
1. Mix Keto Chow and almond flour.
2. Stir in nut butter, melted butter, and liquid allulose until a crumbly dough forms.
3. Line an 9x5 in loaf pan with parchment and press mixture evenly.
4. Chill while preparing the topping.
5. Melt butter and granulated allulose in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until lightly bubbling and golden (about 2 minutes).
6. Whisk in cream, then cook 1 minute until glossy.
7. Cool 2 minutes, then stir in pecans to coat.
8. Spread topping evenly over the base, pressing gently.
9. Chill 1 hour until firm. Slice into 6 bars.
Note: Allulose works best for a chewy texture.
