  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp brown sugar Sukrin sweetener 60g
  • 1/4 cup Sukrin High Fibre Syrup room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar-free Krisda chocolate chips 360g, OR Lily’s chocolate OR unsweetened baker’s chocolate that’s been melted with stevia added to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter

Pecan Topping:

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp granular monkfruit/erythritol blend
  • 1 tbsp sukrin brown sugar (optional) or 1/4 tsp blackstrap molasses
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans 60g

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350*F.
  • Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients except the sweeteners.
  • In a separate large bowl, add your eggs, melted coconut oil, vitafiber syrup, molasses and vanilla extract.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat for about a minute.
  • Meanwhile, place your chocolate-chips and 1 tbsp butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30s increments until melted.
  • Add your melted chocolate to your egg mixture and beat until well-combined.
  • Next, add the chocolate mixture to your dry ingredients and stir together until a smooth, slightly sticky batter forms.
  • Next use a spatula to scrape the batter into the lined baking dish. Spread evenly.
  • Bake in your pre-heated oven for 30-35min OR until a toothpick pricked half-way towards the center ALMOST comes out clean. DO NOT OVER-BAKE. The top should start to rise and get just slightly crunchy while the middle remains soft.
  • While the brownies bake, prepare the caramel sauce by combining all ingredients except the pecans in a small pot and heating on high until it comes to a boil. Whisk constantly during this time.
  • Let the mixture bubble and thicken while continuing to stir for another 2-3min before removing from the heat to cool slightly.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl and add your pecans. Refrigerate until you plan to use it.
  • When brownies are done, let them almost completely cool before pouring your pecan mixture on top.
  • Spread the pecans and caramel evenly over the brownies and allow everything to sit to fully cool at room temperature for at least an hour and a half.
  • Slice carefully into large squares and enjoy!
  • Store in an airtight container on the counter for several days or freeze between layers of parchment for a future snack!
