Keto Pecan Butter Tarts - Canada's favorite dessert, but low-carb! Less than 10 ingredients in this rich and sweet tart.

These Keto Pecan Butter Tarts are a low-carb, sugar-free version of a classic treat, filled with a rich and buttery pecan filling. Perfect for a keto-friendly dessert, they’re made with a tender almond flour crust and a creamy, sweet filling packed with toasted pecans.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup brown erythritol (or preferred brown keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 12 pecan halves (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
    • Mix until the dough comes together and is well incorporated.
    • Press a small amount of dough (about a tablespoon) into each muffin cup, flattening it to create a tart shell.
    • Bake the crusts for about 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown erythritol and stir until melted and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
    • Slowly pour the melted butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
    • Stir in the chopped pecans.
  4. Assemble the Tarts:
    • Divide the filling evenly among the tart crusts.
    • Place a pecan half on top of each tart (optional).
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the tarts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Serve and enjoy!
