Pecan Desserts All Year Long!
My all time favorite dessert before going keto was pecan pie. I wouldn’t even look at any of the other pies at holiday gatherings. Soon after starting keto I realized it wasn’t my love for pecan pie, but really my love for pecans! So, I’ve turned into a pecan dessert all year long type of girl.If you’re also a lover of pecans give our Pecan Sandies or make our Keto Brownies and toss in some pecans for added texture and flavor!
This Would Be A Great Frosted Muffin!
The simple creaminess of a vanilla buttercream frosting or even a simple cream cheese frosting would pair perfectly with these moist, dense keto pecan muffins! Frosting is one of the easiest additions to whip up and takes any dessert to the next level. If you love a good muffin, than you are guaranteed to love a frosted muffin!
Chocolate Chip Pecan Muffins
My favorite combination lately has been chocolate and pecans. I can’t believe I didn’t know how incredible of a combo it was until recently! My late night snack has been a handful of pecans and Lily’s chocolate chips and it hits the spot every time. Whether or not you agree we know you’ll love these Keto Pecan Muffins!Note: I am no longer allergic to nuts – this video was recorded before I found out I was misdiagnosed. Sorry for any confusion!

Notes
Serving Size: 1 large Muffin
Taste was great but very crumbly and fell apart. Any ideas?
I would say they have to cool. You could try to add a tiny bit moisture to them if you want, like add a tiny bit extra heavy cream
Two questions, I don’t see any ingredients that would add up to 6 g of fiber. Where does that come from? Second question, Could you add some ground flax seed to increase the fiber? How would that affect the finished muffin?
Just got these out of the oven! I added a teaspoon of banana extract & 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Yummy!!!😋
Replacements for whipping cream please? Does curd or greek yogurt work?
Yogurt would probably work, or coconut cream – even milk should be fine!
Made this for breakfast this morning.
I doubled the recipe to store some for the week. Next time I’ll use the standard size cupcake mold, not the large cupcake mold. It didn’t fill up enough.
Ok I’ll start by saying that I’m not a good baker. I over-roasted the pecans (10 minutes is too long in my oven.) I decided to forge ahead as the picture looked too good to give up on them. Used a muffin top pan (who needs muffin stumps? 😅); reduced the time and watched them like a hawk. Turns out they have a 5-star rating! (That’s assuming the pecans will
be perfectly roasted next time.) 😊 Thank you for the work you both put in creating these recipes for the baking-challenged like myself.
