Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the erythritol until well combined.
   • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
3. Bake the Brownies:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. The brownies should be set but still a bit fudgy.
4. Prepare the Pecan Pie Topping:
   • While the brownies are baking, make the pecan pie topping. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Stir in the erythritol and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sweetener is dissolved.
   • Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.
   • Stir in the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat.
5. Add the Topping:
   • Once the brownies are baked, remove them from the oven and carefully pour the pecan pie topping over the brownies, spreading it out evenly.
6. Finish Baking:
   • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and the pecans are golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. This will help the topping set properly and make it easier to cut clean slices.

Enjoy your keto pecan pie brownies with a cup of coffee or as a sweet treat any time of day!
