These 3 Ingredient Stovetop Glazed Pecans are simple to make, sugar-free, and delicious to munch on. Keto glazed pecans add flavor and texture to salads, ice cream, desserts, and more. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
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 basil 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.

Can I use another type of nut?
Yes. This method will work to glaze any type of nut!
How about other flavors?
I like to add a little cinnamon and vanilla when I glaze almonds. Maple extract is a nice flavor addition or you can add a drop of molasses to give these a brown sugar flavor. A drop or two of molasses adds a very negligible amount of carbs and a great flavor.
How to Store Keto Glazed Pecans
These are fine at room temperature for at least a month or two. Just keep them in an airtight jar or plastic container. For longer storage refrigerate.
These obviously don't have high fructose corn syrup. I recycled an 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.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)

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.

Could you make them with brown sugar Swerve?
Taryn says
I think so but can't promise it. Try heating a tiny amount of brown sugar swerve to make sure it will melt.
