Instructions

    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Butter Pecan Topping:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
    • Add chopped pecans and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted.
    • Sprinkle erythritol over the pecans and continue cooking until erythritol is melted and pecans are caramelized.
