These keto pecan pie squares are amazing! The taste so much like pecan pie and make a great keto friendly holiday dessert for any get-together. Though it may not have the gooey filling of a classic pecan pie, it still has all of the flavors. Since the majority of this recipe is made with pecans it is very low in net carbs.

The only potential problem is that pecan flour can be hard to come by. Thankfully, however, it is pretty simple to make and also available online. To make, simply process de-shelled pecan halves or pieces through a food processor or high-quality blender until it forms into a fine flour. That said, if you try and make too fine a flour, you will likely end up with pecan butter instead.
