Keto Maple Pecan Fat Bombs and Caramelized Butter Pecans Recipe

I have been on Keto for 4 months now and have lost 33 pounds.  I no longer have the sugar cravings I once had.  On the keto way of eating it is Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) and having fat bombs occasionally is allowed as long as it fits your Macros which is Fat, Protein and Carbs if you are following strict Keto.  I created a recipe with the help of a friend - Maple Pecan Fat Bombs. These fat bombs almost taste like butter pecan ice cream to me. 



Recipe for making the Maple Pecan fat bombs and caramelized  butter pecans.



These are some of the ingredients I used. 


Keto Maple Pecan Fat Bombs

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
3 TBSP Kerry Gold butter (softened)
2 Tbsp Choc Zero maple syrup
1 tsp maple extract
 2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 cup Swerve confectioners’ sugar (more or less to your liking)

Using mixer – beat the cream cheese and butter together. Add Choc Zero Maple Syrup, Maple extract and Vanilla Extract and mix well with mixer.  Add in Swerve confectioners’ sugar and mix with mixer.  I put about a teaspoon into mini cupcake liners and sprinkled some of the caramelized pecan pieces on top and place in refrigerator.  Store in airtight container. 




Caramelized Butter Pecans Recipe


Keto Caramelized Pecans
1 1/ 2 Chopped pecans
2 T Kerry Gold Butter (unsalted)
3 T Sukrin Gold brown sugar

Melt butter in skillet add chopped pecans and sprinkle Sukrin Gold Brown sugar, stir until coated well and brown sugar starts to caramelize. Pour on parchment paper in oven 375  about 10  min. Let cool. Break apart.  



Bake in Oven at 375 degrees - watch since ovens vary that they do no burn. 


After they have cooled take a fork and break apart.  Store them in airtight container.  

These are also perfect for a snack, put on Keto mug cakes, Keto Ice Cream, Keto whipping cream and strawberries. 



I hope you make these recipes and let me know. I did not calculate nutrition for these.  

Thanks
