Ingredients For Pumpkin Spiced Candied Pecans

Pecans: 1 pound of raw pecans

Butter and Cream: 5 tablespoons, divided and ⅓ cup of heavy whipping cream

Sugar: ½ cup of Lakanto Golden

Extracts and Flavors: 2 tablespoons of pumpkin spice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Salt: to taste

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Spiced Candied Pecans

Prep the oven. Start out by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Spread out Pecans. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes

Make Candied Sauce. While the pecans are roasting, begin making the candied sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter along with the heavy cream and Lakanto sweetener until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the mixture turns golden brown.

Add butter and flavoring. Add the final 1 tablespoon of butter, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt, and stir until smooth. Then remove from the heat.

Mix Pecans and Sauce. Put the roasted pecans into a mixing bowl and then pour the pumpkin spiced sauce over the pecans and stir until the pecans are fully coated.

Chill. Spread the pecans evenly on another parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Enjoy. Once cooled and firmed up, break apart the pieces and enjoy!

Are Pumpkin Spiced Candied Pecans Keto?

Yes regular, raw pecans can be snacked on while sticking to a keto diet.

However candied pecans are not keto-friendly. The sugar that makes them so tasty makes them no longer keto.

But, with this recipe, you can enjoy your favorite candied pecans with a pumpkin spiced glaze, while sticking to your keto diet!

 How To Store Candied Pecans

To keep the pecans from going stale and bad, store the pecans in an airtight container. They are best kept at room temperature and should keep their flavor for up to 3 weeks.

You can also store these in an airtight container in the freezer if you’d wish. When you are ready to serve them, take them out at least an hour beforehand so they have time to thaw.

How To Enjoy Keto Pumpkin Spiced Candied Pecans

No matter how you eat this snack, you can’t go wrong. Every way will taste delicious.

I think that they are best served right after you give them some time to cool down but are still warm. This is the best way to enjoy these pecans in my opinion.

But they are excellent in every form. You can easily freeze these and take them out the next day before you go somewhere. They will still taste great even if they are not warm.

They are delicious no matter how you serve them!
