Keto Pecan Brittle… I have been trying for 3 ywars to get a Keto Brittle of any kind to work. The closest i came to it was using Vitafibre…however the carb count was pretty high and the end result was “stick to your teeth” instead of crunchy…
BUT!!!
I finally did it and i am here to share my success!!
You Need-
115 grams of unsalted butter
1 cup of pecan slices(rough chopped to peanut size)- If using whole…you need 3/4 cup whole pieces.
1/2 cup Allulose (this is a must!)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
12 drops liquid sweetner(allulose is only 70% sweetness)
Candy Thermometre
Parchment Paper or Silpat
8x8 pan or 13x9 jelly roll pan if using silpat
Melt butter in pot over stove on low till melted. Add liquid sweetner to melted butter. Add Allulose into pot and stir until disolved and cook on medium heat until it is boiling. Once it begins to boil…reduce heat and gently boil. Place a cabdy thermometre in your mixture and let mixture boil gently until it reaches just below 300 degrees F.
While mixture is boiling, take pecans and place them in a frying pan(with no oil) and gently toast till golden brown-roughly 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once your caramel mixture has turned golden brown and your candy thermometre has rezched 300F, remove from stove and add in vanilla(this will bubble viciously so stire quickly) Next…add in Baking Soda. The mixture will instantly look foamy. Stir baking soda in till not visible. Then add in chopped pecans and stir till coated. Pour mixture onto silpat or parchment lined-greased 8x8 pan. Sprinkle a pinch of himalayan pink salt over top.Let cool in fridge till hardened. Chop into 16 pcs and eat!
- Do not be alarmed if a little butter has separated and formed on the top…the most amount that separated was a tsp tops.
In the future i may drizzle chocolate over it…mmm

** This recipe works because Allulose melts and caramalizes. Unfortunately in my experience, using Erithrytol or Swerve does not work due to the recrystalization once cooled. You end up with a grainy texture. It is crucial you use Allulose for this to work.
