Keto Pecan Brandy Bars. I doubt you can truly get good perspective on the size (I did a 12 cut) of these Pecan Maple Brandy Bars but the taste? Holy Moly Batman, to die for. I am getting sick of ruining my dinners. Certainly one of the things we as bloggers need to do it taste a new recipe and for some reason, which probably has to do more with my prefrontal cortex, I am unable to wait until after my dinner to try a dessert. Come on, I am 71 years old and I’m still acting like a child but I do have to say that most times it’s worth it and this was one of the times. A touch of brandy, a touch of maple and ooh la la. They are enough to make you dance in the streets. Sheesh, I have 60 lowcarb, keto, and paleo dessert recipes on this site and I have had a lot of good high carby desserts in my time but, these keto pecan brandy bars have gone to the top of my favorites list. Oozy, gooey, chewy goodness.

- 2¼ C Almond Flour
- ¾ C Ground Pecans
- ½ C Allulose***
- ¾ C Melted Butter
- 2 Eggs
- ¾ C Allulose***
- ½ C Melted Butter
- ¼ C SugarFree Maple Syrup***
- 2 T Heavy Cream
- 1 t Vanilla Extract
- 2 T Brandy
- 1¼ C Chopped Pecans
- Preheat oven to 340˚.
- Mix all ingredients and press well into an 8"x8” cake pan.
- Blind bake crust 12-15 minutes and then “tamp down” as it will puff up. Return to oven for about 5-10 additional minutes or until it starts to turn just ever so slightly brown. If it has puffed up again knock it back down.
- Leave oven on.
- Add eggs, Allulose, syrup, melted butter, vanilla to medium bowl & beat until smooth.
- Add heavy cream & brandy, and mix thoroughly.
- Fold in nuts, pour into pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bars will puff up and then fall when removed from the oven and should just giggle ever so slightly in the center.
- Put on rack and cool completely.
- For the very best results cover and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours as the bars will get really chewy, thick and dense.

- Bars are as chewy and dense as the best brownie you have ever eaten.
- Absolutely no need to grease pan as the crust has so much butter in it. The bars will come out slicker than a whistle.
- 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, oligosaccharides or food grade glycerin(e) and one of them is they are not 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.
