I bake these pecan softies when I want sweet comfort without a heavy feeling. They taste rich and warm with toasted pecans, a hint of vanilla, and a snap of dark chocolate. The salt lands last and makes each bite pop. I share a plate and the room goes quiet in the best way. This small batch fits busy days. Almond flour keeps the crumb soft and tender. We lean on Carb Free Recipes for quick wins and I keep a jar of chopped nuts ready. These make easy Keto Snacks and work after dinner when you crave Low Carb Desserts yet still want a little joy. Think Dark Chocolate Desserts with a nutty heart. I call them Pecan Recipes for people who love real flavor. You mix one bowl and scoop small mounds onto a lined sheet. The edges set, the centers stay soft. Cool them just enough so the chocolate holds a shine. I take one warm and breathe in the roasted nut smell. Simple food, clean lines, and a kind finish. That is how we cook on Camila Cooks with calm and care.

1 Key Takeaways
I am Camila from Camila Cooks and I love a cookie with a soft middle and a crisp ring. These fit that wish list and keep carbs low. The mix stays simple and the bowl stays clean. The bake feels fast so cravings do not linger.
Keto Recipes guide my swaps. Almond flour keeps the crumb tender and rich. Pecans bring warm aroma and small crunch. Dark chocolate gives a deep finish and a bit of shine on top.
Sea salt wakes the sweet notes. One tray works for a busy day. The dough freezes well for later. I serve them with coffee and quiet follows.
2 Easy Keto Pecan Softies Recipe
Keto Recipes make weeknights calm. Keto Recipes help me keep a promise to my body and still smile at dessert. I wanted a cookie that felt warm and homelike yet stayed light. This one meets me in the middle.
We toast pecans so the room smells like a candy shop. We stir a quick bowl so cleanup stays easy. The dough looks a little sticky and that is good. A sticky dough means a soft center after the bake.
On Camila Cooks I test small batches. I hate waste and love fresh trays. The first bite breaks with a tiny snap then melts. Sea salt lands last and ties the dark chocolate to the nut. Simple joy with steady macros.
3 Ingredients for Keto Pecan Softies
Almond flour super fine grind gives a soft crumb and a clean bite
Pecans toasted and chopped small for aroma and gentle crunch
Sweetener erythritol or monk fruit for a clean sweet note with low impact
Eggs room temperature so the dough binds fast and smooth
Butter or coconut oil melted and cooled for tender lift in the crumb
Vanilla for warmth that rounds the nut and cocoa
Baking powder a light boost so the edges set with a soft rise
Fine sea salt balances sweet in the dough and sharpens flavor
Dark chocolate eighty five percent cocoa chopped so it melts in small pools
Flaky salt a tiny pinch on top for snap and contrast
4 How to Make Keto Pecan Softies
Step one heat the oven to three hundred fifty F and line a sheet with parchment for a clean lift
Step two whisk almond flour baking powder fine salt and sweetener in one bowl so the mix stays even
Step three stir in eggs melted butter and vanilla until a soft sticky dough forms that clings to the spoon
Step four fold in chopped pecans and most chocolate then keep a small handful for the tops
Step five scoop small mounds on the sheet and press the peaks so the bake stays even
Step six bake nine to twelve minutes until rims look set and centers still feel soft
Step seven shower warm cookies with the saved chocolate and a light pinch of flaky salt then cool on the pan for five minutes
5 Tips for Making Keto Pecan Softies
Use super fine almond flour for the best crumb. Coarse grind leads to a gritty bite. Small changes matter with low carb bakes and this one rewards care.
Toast pecans for deeper flavor. Nuts wake up when warm and the oil smells rich. This tiny step lifts the cookie into the top tier of Almond Flour Desserts.
Pull the tray when edges set and centers still look pale. That keeps the texture soft which suits Keto Snacks and late night tea. If you like a firmer bite bake one minute more.
6 Making Keto Pecan Softies Ahead of Time
I mix a double batch and chill scoops on a tray. Once firm I bag them flat and label the date. Frozen mounds bake straight from the freezer with one extra minute and keep shape well.
This plan helps fans of Carb Free Recipes since warm cookies appear on demand. The dough keeps three days in the fridge so you can bake a few each night. Fresh trays make weeknights feel kind.
For gifts I bake then cool then pack with a card that links to Camila Cooks at https://www.camilacooks.com so friends can find more Keto Recipes and a few savory ideas too.
7 Storing Leftover Keto Pecan Softies
Store cookies in a tin at room temp for two days. The tops keep a soft shine and the salt stays crisp. A quick warm up in the microwave brings back the glow.
For longer storage freeze in a flat layer then move to a bag. They thaw in ten minutes and taste like new. This works for Low Carb Desserts you want on standby.
If the room feels humid slip a sheet of parchment between layers. That keeps edges neat and stops sticking. A dry tin means a happy snack.

One cookie carries about one hundred sixty five calories with net carbs near three and protein near four grams. Fat sits near fifteen grams with a balanced mix of pecan oil and butter. This fits Dark Chocolate Desserts that still feel light inside a smart plan.
