Keto Pecan Clusters Recipe

We just made a fantastic Keto Pecan Clusters Recipe using allulose sweetener and it turned out perfect!! I’m so excited!

I’ve made this recipe before but it wasn’t chewy or caramel like because the sweeteners just didn’t act like real sugar until allulose came along.

You start off caramelizing the sugars, almost like making caramel, except you add all the ingredients together in the beginning. I will show you in detail below. It’s all about the consistency of the boil sweetener as to how chewy and sticky it will become.

Allulose is almost just like sugar but there are some differences. The first, and most important difference for a keto person, is that it has no glycemic index and it is a zero calorie sweetener. This makes allulose perfect for the keto lifestyle.

The other difference is that is caramelizes similar to sugar. It’s will get thick and hard when it cools depending on how long it’s cooked for. There is one problem and one major difference though… it doesn’t stay hard so you cannot make a hard candy with allulose. It tends to absorb liquid around it. This will tend to soften the sweetener after it hardens because of the hygroscopic nature of allulose.

We did make theses Keto Pecan Clusters and they did solidify but after a few hours you they can become mushy if you don’t keep them refrigerated. We sealed them in a ziplock baggie to preserve the consistency.

Allulose is about 70% as sweet as real table sugar which is nice because when you go keto your taste buds really change and sweet recipes can often be way too sweet for your taste after time.

Check out TikTok video to see the full process and video showing the caramel consistency. The consistency of the coating is the most important step. You must get that part right.
