Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Pecan Square
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add melted unsalted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until combined.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan, pressing evenly to form the crust.
  5. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix chopped pecans, sugar-free maple syrup, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Pour the pecan topping over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the topping is set and the pecans are lightly toasted.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
  10. For the best texture, chill in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
