Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Pour in melted butter, crack in the egg, and add vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  4. Transfer dough to the prepared baking pan and press evenly into the bottom.
  5. Bake the crust for about 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix chopped pecans, maple syrup, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt until well-coated.
  7. Pour the pecan mixture over the cooled crust, spreading gently for uniform coverage.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until pecans are toasted.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  10. For best texture, chill the squares in the refrigerator before serving.
