Keto Southern Pecan Bread. Why in heaven’s name this is called bread and not cake is a mystery to me. I found a recipe, was intrigued by the name, looked at the ingredients, and thought I could make it keto. At least for me this is not bread in any way shape or form.
As comparison the label to the left is the label from another recipe I found and of course it had massive amounts of sugar in it so, take a good look because mine is sugar-free. Keto southern pecan bread is the first keto dessert I have done since sometime last year but I have to say I’m glad I tried it because IT. IS. DELICIOUS. I very rarely eat sweets of any kind and the longer I have eaten keto~lowcarb (10 years) it has only become less and less.
God forbid, I managed to find myself in the Kitchen Kaboodle store in the middle of our “pandemic” and I went nuts. Besides picking up pre-ordered books and going to grocery stores I had not been inside a retail store for over 4 months and yes, I was like a kid in a candy store and how I got that sweet little Fat Daddio Bundt pan. If you ever decide to make Keto Monkey Bread this 7” puppy holds well over 2 cups and is the perfect sized pan and the same one I used for this recipe. If you’re not sure then make this in a 7”x7” pan and cut them into bars.
This keto southern pecan bread is plenty sweet enough all by its lonesome but…if you want to guild the lily feel free to drizzle the finished bread with Keto Rum Caramel Sauce and it is certainly not necessary. If…you happen to have Sugar-Free Maple Syrup then 1 T drizzled over a piece is fabulous because we all know maple and pecans make fabulous tasting foods together, and…one other suggestion would be to drizzle it with Keto Orange Sauce because you know, orange & pecan.

- CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
- I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.
- I am imagining this done in a small loaf pan, sliced, toasted and slathered with butter, kinda like banana bread. Come to think about it, maybe that’s why this is called a “bread”.
Made these into muffins & added bacon. The texture is a bit more dense than I expected, but the flavor is great
Torrey,
I can imagine the batter might not be conducive to muffins as it is a very thick batter as stated. To make muffins I would maybe add ½ t extra baking powder, 2 more T heavy cream + 2 T water plus any more needed to make a muffin batter.
The bacon sounds like a great addition.
