Best Sugar Alternatives
Erythritol, monkfruit, stevia, inulin, and allulose work best in these recipes. When the recipe calls for confectioners’ sweetener, try using your blender to pulverize the no-calorie granulated sweeteners into a fine powder.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup pecan meal
- 1/3 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup butter (melted), plus 2 Tbs. (soft), divided

Preparation
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment.
- Stir almond flour and pecan meal together, add maple sugar, baking powder, salt, ¼ cup butter, egg, vanilla or almond extract, orange zest, cinnamon, and chopped pecans.
- Turn dough out onto the baking sheet. Form into a ²/³-inch x 14-inch log with slightly rounded sides.
- Bake 12 minutes. Turn pan, and bake 12–14 minutes more, until light touch doesn’t indent dough.
