Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Sugar-free sweetener (granulated, like erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add in the sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir continuously until the sweetener dissolves completely and the mixture starts to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the pecans to the saucepan, gently stirring to coat all the pecans thoroughly with the praline mixture.
Spread the pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to ensure even baking.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the praline pecans to cool on the baking sheet, where they will continue to harden as they come to room temperature.
Once completely cooled, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy as a snack or as a topping for your favorite desserts or salads.
