I feel like I’m on a run with my keto fat bombs recipes lately.
First my super delicious peanut butter fat bombs that caused me to eat almost all of them in one sitting and now these little pecan pie fat bombs that are just heavenly!
(And psst, there are a few more fat bomb recipes coming your way in the next days and weeks!)
This recipe goes so well with a nice cup of black tea or coffee, I absolutely love it.
And even though it’s quite a task to make traditional pecan pie, these little guys can give you that cozy holiday feeling of pecan pie in a blink of an eye with almost no effort!
You can literally whip them up in five minutes and after they’ve chilled for a short period of time you can enjoy them for up to 3 days.
I’m sure even your friends and family members who aren’t following a ketogenic diet will love to have one of these because they just hit your taste buds the right way.
Scroll down to find out how to make them!

PECAN PIE KETO FAT BOMBS INGREDIENTS:
(You can find the exact amounts needed in the recipe card at the end of this post!)
The best thing about this recipe: You don’t need a lot of ingredients. (6 to be precise).
it doesn’t matter if you buy whole pecans or pecans that are already chopped.
You can easily chop your pecan halves with a knife or by pulsing them for a few seconds in a food processor.
☝︎ Measure AFTER your pecans are chopped!
the almond flour will bring additional texture to the fat bombs and make sure they keep their shape more easily.
you can also use normal granulated erythritol for this recipe but I highly recommend to use brown or golden erythritol. (It tastes sooo good!)
I got my brown erythritol from a local brand in Germany and unfortunately, it’s not available in the US.
I haven’t tried both of the following products myself but the reviews are very good so I feel confident in suggesting them to you:
1. Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener
(I really want to try monk fruit sweetener myself but it doesn’t ship to Germany!
Hopefully, I can get my hands on it when I’m in the US next year.)
2. Sukrin Gold Brown sugar substitute
(This is pretty close to the product I used but it differs in the fact that this is a 1:1 replacement for sugar whereas the erythritol I used is only 70% as sweet as sugar.
I adjusted the amounts you would have to use if you use a 1:1 replacement in the recipe card!)
Why do I love Erythritol so much?
In my opinion, Erythritol is the BEST keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Recent studies even suggest it’s actually GOOD for your teeth!
Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation with a special kind of yeast) I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
Even though I’m a little bit biased towards erythritol, I’m not discriminating against other granulated keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar.
But you should be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
I adjusted the amounts in the recipe card for 1:1 sugar replacements as well, don’t worry!
I really wanted to order this sugar-free maple syrup from Lakanto for this recipe but it just won’t ship to me.
So again, I used a local German brand instead.
According to my research the sweetness should be quite similar – no need to adjust the amounts here.
Leave the butter at room temperature for approx. 20-30 minutes for desired consistency.
HOW TO MAKE PECAN PIE KETO FAT BOMBS:
1. Mix the ingredients for the fat bomb mass:
If your pecans aren’t chopped already, chop them rather finely with a knife or pulse them a few seconds in a food processor.
Mix all of the ingredients in a middle-sized bowl and chill in the freezer for approx. 15 minutes.
2. Form the fat bombs:
Scoop out small portions of the mass (my fat bombs were approx. 2 tsp) and roll them between your hands until you get beautiful, even balls.
If they melt too fast in your hands, put them in the freezer for another 10 minutes.
3. (Optional) Roll in chopped pecans:
If you want to add a bit of extra crunch and make them even prettier, roll the finished balls in chopped pecans.
4. Serve:
Chill the finished fat bombs in the fridge for about 1 hour before enjoying them!
(But nobody will judge you if you eat them before!)
Cover them with plastic wrap and store in your fridge for up to 3 days.

Nutrition Info:
One pecan pie fat bomb (approx 0.5 oz/14g) has 0.5g net carbs (1.4g total carbs and 0.9g dietary fiber), 4.1g fat, 4.3g protein, and 68 calories.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
