Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup pecan flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar replacement
  • 1/3 cup allulose sweetener
  • 1/4 cup collagen protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk

Method
 

  1. Place the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter becomes a deep amber, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300ºF and grease a 9-inch square metal baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, pecan flour, sweeteners, collagen, baking powder, and salt. Be sure to break up any clumps in the nut flours or sweeteners.
  4. Add the browned butter, egg, egg yolk, and caramel extract. Stir until the dough comes together, then stir in the chopped pecans.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake 12 to 18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is just barely set. They will still be very soft.
  6. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

– Don’t skip browning the butter! It adds a deep, nutty, caramel-like flavor that elevates these bars. Watch it carefully to avoid burning. – Bake until the edges are golden and the center is just set. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) if you’re using a thermometer, ensuring the eggs are cooked through. – Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
