Maple Bourbon Pecans are an addictively delicious crunchy sweet snack. These keto maple-glazed pecans taste like pecan pie without the carbs!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans raw pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Stevia Blend *see notes
- 1 tablespoon Maple extract
- 1 tablespoon Bourbon *see notes
- 1 teaspoon Avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt *see notes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the maple extract, bourbon, oil, cinnamon, brown sugar stevia and salt to a bowl and stir well or whisk to combine the ingredients until the brown sugar stevia mostly dissolves into the liquid.
- Add the pecans to the bowl, then stir until the pecans are all completely coated. Spread the pecans into a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet, then place onto the center rack of your preheated oven.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully remove them from the oven, stir, then return to the oven and continue baking them for an additional 5 - 8 minutes. Watch them during the last few minutes so they do not burn.
- Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
Notes
These Maple Bourbon Pecans only have 1 net carb per serving. You can easily make a double batch to serve at a party or save for later. Store them in an airtight container.
- Bourbon - You can also use vanilla or bourbon extract if you do not want to use alcohol.
- Brown Sugar Stevia - Multiple brands offer a Brown Sugar Stevia Blend. You can also use regular brown sugar if you are not trying to cut carbs or sugar out of your diet. For a subtly sweet pecan, use only one tablespoon of brown sugar stevia or you can even omit the sugar altogether, which I have done many times and is a great option if you are adding them to a savory recipe.
- Salt - You can use an extra 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp total), for a sweet & salty flavor.
