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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the pecans to the saucepan, gently stirring to coat all the pecans thoroughly with the praline mixture.
Step 5
Spread the pecans evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer to ensure even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent burning.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
