LOW CARB CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE BARS


Ingredients
Crust
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granular Swerve Sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup butter chilled, cut into small pieces

Pecan Pie Filling
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
  • 2 tsp Yacon syrup optional, helps with color and flavor
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecans lightly toasted
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate chips, sugar-free


Instructions
Crust:
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
  2. In a food processor, combine the almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine. Scatter the butter pieces over top and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press into the bottom of a 9x9 inch pan and bake 12 minutes or until the edges are just turning golden.

Pecan Pie Filling:
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the powdered sweetener and Yacon syrup and whisk until well combined. Remove from heat.
  2. Whisk in the vanilla extract and cream. Add the eggs and salt and whisk until fully incorporated.
  3. Scatter the pecans and chocolate chips over the crust and pour the filling overtop. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is mostly set (if you want them gooey, make sure the middle still has a little jiggle to it when the pan is shaken).
  4. Remove and let cool at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

THE BEST CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat. Melt a little butter or oil in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat. With the hot skillet in one hand and the batter in the other, slowly and steadily pour crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting the skillet around to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a very thin layer. It takes some practice but after 3 or 4 times, you can get consistently even crepes. After 10-15 seconds, the crepe batter shouldn't look shiny anymore, it should appear more matte and the bottom should be lightly browned. So,...
