Best Keto Almond Brittle Recipe
LUCY SCHAEFFER PHOTOGRAPHY
Normally making brittle requires the complicated step of getting the sugar to the right temperature. However, because you’ll be using Swerve (an erythritol-based sweetener that’s keto-approved) instead of granulated sugar, there’s no need to use a candy thermometer or navigate boiling sugar. Instead, follow the directions and time in the recipe accordingly to get the delicious toffee layer. The brittle is then topped with a thick layer of chocolate and pecans, though if you want to play off the almond flour base, toasted chopped almonds would be delicious, too. (It’s worth toasting the pecans, if you have the time.)
Store Keto Almond Brittle in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

- Make the almond crunch: Preheat oven to 325º. In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, Swerve confectioners’, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add egg and butter and stir well to fully combine; it will be a thicker dough (like pie dough).
- Form the almond mixture into a ball and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a scant ¼” thick circle, and dust top lightly with more almond flour if dough is sticking to rolling pin. Slide parchment with the dough on it onto a baking sheet and bake until golden, about 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, about 20 minutes.
- Make the toffee topping: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown Swerve over medium heat, stirring. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until amber in color (about a shade or two darker than its original color—essentially the butter browns a bit), about 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour on top of baked almond crunch. Use a spoon to spread to the edges, leaving a ¼” to ⅛” border. Let cool until hardened, about 30 minutes.
- Make the chocolate topping: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave until just melted, stirring a few times, about 1 minute. Pour chocolate on top of toffee topping and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle with pecans.
- Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces.
