3 Ingredient Stovetop Glazed Pecans

I love sweet coated nuts. These 3 Ingredient Stovetop Glazed Pecans are simple to make and delicious to munch on. They add flavor and texture to salads, ice cream, desserts, and more.

With only 3 ingredients these are very simple to make. My goal is to always have a jar waiting. My favorite summer salad is spinach, berries, glazed nuts, feta cheese, and a balsamic vinaigrette. Since baby spinach comes washed and ready to be used it is quick and easy to make for lunch or a picnic. For dinner, I’ll add grilled chicken.

These obviously don’t have high fructose corn syrup. I recycled my all fruit jelly jar for an occasion like this. I love mason jars and other glass jars of unique shapes or sizes. I have quite a collection in my pantry and basement and they come in handy rather often. I love making individual desserts in little mason jars. They are easy to serve and portable to bring places. Just pop on the lid and you are ready to go.

3 Ingredient Stovetop Glazed Pecans –  Low Carb, Sugar Free, THM S

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter

1/4 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

Instructions:

Add the butter and sweetener to a medium saucepan. Heat on medium until melted. Add the pecans and cook for about 5-8 minutes until the syrup begins turning brown and the pecans smell toasted. Remove from the heat. Stir every 5 minutes as they cool. The syrup will continue to thicken. Once they are well coated and room temperature transfer to a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until the coating is hard.

Recipe Notes

Notes on Sweeteners: 

I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

To sub in Swerve use 1.5 to 2 times the amount of sweetener called for.

 

To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.

 

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
