Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Powdered erythritol
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.66 cup Brown sugar substitute
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease a silicone muffin pan.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup and up the sides to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 6

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar substitute and heavy cream, stirring until dissolved.

Step 7

Stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract, cooking until the mixture starts to bubble gently and slightly thicken.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Beat the egg in a small bowl and slowly whisk it into the filling mixture to avoid scrambling.

Step 10

Optionally, divide the pecans or walnuts among the tart crusts.

Step 11

Pour the filling mixture evenly over the prepared crusts.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set and the tarts are golden brown.

Step 13

Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan. The filling will firm up as the tarts cool.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your low carb butter tarts!
