Keto Pecan Brittles Recipe
What a perfect treat to make around the holidays. These Keto Pecan Brittles are a great hit in our house and the kids love them. Well except for Marc. He is the picky eater around here and I have given up on him trying new things long ago!
So, I would like to mention that I didn’t toast the pecans for this particular Keto Pecan Brittles recipe. But you can do so if you like. It will make it much nuttier and the flavor will be much more intense. They are delicious either way you go but you will find that you might like one over the other.

What size baking pan is recommended?
Rena says
Any average size pan works like a 9×13 or a baking sheet pan
Bonni Montgomery says
I have used erythritol brown sugar and also lakanto monk fruit as it has a ‘mapely’ flavor and sometimes a combo of both & both turned out well. I also toast my pecans first. Be sure you let the sweetener and sugar cook long enough to thicken a bit and become frothy before you add pecans. I don’t usually have to refrigerate it.
Rena says
Thanks for the great tips, Bonni. I appreciate the feedback. I am sure it will be helpful for others.
Sara says
Was delicious but I don’t think I had enough butter mixture. Mine was like all pecans and like no butter?? Any tips?
Rena says
Hi Sara
What kind of butter did you use? That’s odd
Nicole Normand says
Mine too was all pecans and not much butter. It was still great and I ended up getting all the yummy butter mixture with my spoon and fingers… Butter was my regular kind at the store. Unsalted so I added a pinch of Himalayan salt.
Vanessa says
Tried it and it was great while it wasn’t completely cooled – then the erythritol started to crystalize. Any tips to prevent that from happening?
Rena says
Hi Vanessa. What brand erythritol did you use? Was it more in a powder form or granular form?
Nicole Normand says
Mine too.
Monica says
Can I double the ingredients to make more? And can I use the pyure confectioners sugar .
Rena says
Hi Monica
Yes you can use confectioners sugar
Nett says
What is baking sugar? I haven’t made them yet but they look great. A
Rena says
Hi Nett
The sugar substitute that’s specifically made for baking, not the kind you add to your drinks.
Marcy says
How many servings is in this recipe?
Rena says
Hi Marcy! It makes about 12 pieces
Tene says
I don’t think I let the butter and sugar cook long enough. My first attempt came out gritty. O well i’ll try again till I get it right!
Rena says
Awe. hope it works. Make sure you are using the baking sugar substitute
Rhonda says
Easy to make and it’s tasty. I just found the baking sheet to be to large. Next time I’ll try a smaller pan.
Keren says
Omg, this is so yummy!
If for some reason this doesn’t get eaten in the first day haha, how long does it last in the fridge? Also, can it be frozen?
Jean says
Can you use other sugar free sugars instead of the eysteyal
Rena says
Hi Jean
any other sugar substitutes you have handy will work. There are many.
Sara says
Looks delicious. Could I substitute coconut oil for the butter for dairy free or would it not work out?
Rena says
Hi Sara
yes, you can!
