Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies

Keto Snack Recipes > Keto Recipes

A little delicious treat is something that everyone on a ketogenic diet will crave. But, when it comes to the carb counts and fat ratios, we need to make sure everything is in check before we start baking. These blondie squares are 88% calories from fat – just about good enough to be considered a fat bomb. As many of you know, I try to stay clear of the usual “fat bomb” consisting of frozen coconut oil and cocoa powder. You can check out my other “twists” on fat bombs by trying out a chia seed almond butter square, or a fantastic chocolate mug cake.

With these Pecan Butter Chia Blondies, you get tons of flavor and deliciousness in 1 bite. They seriously taste like fresh pancakes with maple syrup, compacted up and formed into a bar. Each bite reminded me of a breakfast as a kid, digging into pancakes on a Sunday morning. All of the flavors come together perfectly to create a fantastic treat whenever you’re in need of something sweet.

Yields 16 Pecan Butter Chia Seed Blondies

The Preparation

The Execution

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Measure out 2 1/4 cup pecans (I order mine from Amazon) and bake for about 10 minutes. Once you can smell a nutty aroma, remove nuts and set aside.

2. Grind 1/2 cup whole chia seeds in a spice grinder until a meal forms.

3. Remove chia meal and place in a bowl. Next, grind 1/4 cup Erythritol in a spice grinder until powdered. Set in the same bowl as the chia meal.

4. Place 2/3 of roasted pecans in food processor.

5. Process nuts, scraping sides down as needed, until a smooth nut butter is formed.

6. Add 3 large eggs, 10 drops liquid stevia, 3 tbsp. SF Salted Caramel Torani Syrup, and a pinch of salt to the chia mixture. Mix this together well.

12. Bake for 20 minutes or until desired consistency.

13. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Slice off the edges of the brownie to create a uniform square. This is what I call “the bakers treat” – yep, you guessed it! Snack on those bad boys while you get them ready to serve to everyone else. The so-called “best part” of the brownie are the edges, and that’s why you deserve to have all of it 🙂

14. Serve up and eat to your hearts (or rather macros) content!
