Keto, Grain Free Pecan Tassies made with homemade brown sugar, cream cheese, almond flour and pecans. via @angelaroberts

Grain Free Pecan Tassies are just as good as my original pecan tassies made here. Pecan Tassies were the first recipe I ever blogged and it has a very sentimental meaning for me.

These are my favorite Christmas cookie. This is the sugar free, low carb version, but it’s just as awesome. I can hardly stop eating them. And, just in case you didn’t know this, I now own a thriving cottage home keto bakery.

Low Carb Grain Free Pecan Tassies from Spinach Tiger #paleo #christmas #cookie #pecan #lowcarb #grainfree #keto

When I was a teenager, my brother and I lived only with my father. One Saturday night during the holidays  a neighbor came over and showed us how to make Christmas cookies. No one baked in my family. No one ever made us cookies and without a mother at the time, life was harder, more lonely.

We both felt low with abandonment and it seemed like such a treasure to have a woman come to our house to make cookies with us. I can picture my brother taking a spoon and filling each cookie with a brown sugar, pecan mixture.

I remember feeling grateful that she took the time to write down the recipe and give it to me. Isn’t it astounding that it’s the small kindnesses that can fill a heart for a lifetime.

She wrote out the recipe for pecan tassies on a little index card and I still have it. I’m not that person who saves a lot of things, but this held a very deep memory that was happy at a time those were rare. We baked until late into the night, and since both she and my brother are deceased, I feel a need to carry this tradition on.

Grain Free Pecan Tassies are low carb, sugar free made with  a Homemade Brown Sugar

Each Pecan Tassie is 117 calories, 2.5 g carbs, 2 g fiber (.5 carbs)  3 g protein, 11 g fat.

Homemade Brown Sugar

I recently discovered that it’s pretty easy to make a healthy, low carb brown sugar using blackstrap molasses. There are 14 carbs per tablespoon of Swerve granulated, making this only an additional 7 carbs per 12 cookies. It tastes just like brown sugar and helps 

The original pecan tassies recipe tastes more like a mini pecan pie but with more of a pastry feel, as the dough is made with cream cheese. This grain free pecan tassie is more like a pecan bun or cake. It’s delicious and it freezes perfectly.

I made several test batches of Grain Free Pecan Tassies using the almond flour and we agreed that adding in a little bit of orange extract into the dough and adding cinnamon pushed the flavors more towards that orange cinnamon roll we love on Christmas morning. It’s so delicious.

The Dough Process

I use almond flour, egg, melted butter, a little swerve and some orange zest for the dough. I weigh the dough and divide it by 24. Each dough ball weighs about 12 grams. It then gets tamped down to make a pastry cup.

I’ve found through experience that these can sometimes stick so I cut little round parchment papers to place on the bottom of each cup. If you just made one circle on a parchment sheet and fold over several times and cut, you will quickly have small rounds. It really does help. I also spray the pan.

The filling is easy to make. I use my homemade brown sugar, melted butter, chopped pecans and cinnamon. The filling is then spooned into the cups and topped with more chopped pecans. They only take about 15 minutes to bake to a golden brown.

Play around with this recipe for Keto Friendly Pecan Tassies

You can play around by adding chocolate chips or unsweetened coconut.


The fantastic news is that these freeze so well. Just take out and defrost for 30 seconds for a quick treat, or go ahead and make all the cookies you want in advance so the holidays are easy.

      I’m thinking on this and I just changed recipe to butter or spray the pan first. That should help.

        I have an issue with the sweetener becoming crunchy. Do you know if that’s just the nature of the sweetener or if I’m doing something wrong? Also think I’m definitely making again but I think I will try and use the paper or silicone cups. As I did spray my pan real good and had issues with sticking and crumbling. Thank you for this very tasty recipe.

    Do you mix all the dough ingredients together and then chill? You only say to mix the almond flour, swerve, and orange extract.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Happy Weekend Friends. I feel the need to bring you a smattering of cheer and goodwill. Sugar free, grain free, gluten free, with keto friendly chocolate whoopie pies. #linkinprofile  https://spinachtiger.com/grain-free-chocolate-whoopie-pies/ 

I hope you’re having the best Saturday you can have. I did a lot of early baking and now it’s me and Peaches watching the PBS Masterpiece Theater. I love my subscription to Acorn and Britbox, PBS. Anyone else an Acorn fan? I love Agatha Raisin, Deadwater fell, Doc Martin, Delicious, Nothing Trivial, 800 Words, The Heart Guy, Murdock Mysteries, A Place to Call Home, Poirot, Mount Pleasant, Father Brown. 
On Brit Box, the funniest show (and uplifting) I’ve ever seen is Mrs. Brown’s Boys. HIGHLY recommend that but beware of some swear words. (It’s Irish)

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

Good Morning Saturday.  Dutch baby is keto friendly and recipe is on the blog. Ingredients below. We eat this with choc zero maple syrup which is sugar free and delicious. We’re going to have a nice breakfast before we face our basement. Everything has to be moved to the garage  before Thursday when electricity is rewired. We are finally finishing out this 850 square feet walk out, and I can’t wait to get to the wall painting/decorating part. I need this project to keep my mind on happy things!

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.

Merry Christmas. 🎄In spite of all the bad that came with 2020, today was a good day. I found out my wonderful step mother unexpectedly inherited a nice sum of money which she needs badly and that made my heart sing. ❤️ I’m so thrilled when other people get good things they deserve. I was also thrilled with my two sour dough creations we had tonight👩🏻‍🍳. I am still baking from  Emilie Raffa’s Sourdough Made Simple book, and had to try the spinach dip stuffed braided loaf and the camembert wreath. 😋😋Both were HUGE hits, easy directions to follow and came out perfectly.  We had charcuterie, crab cakes, arugula salad and these breads. I think I may not eat again until next year. By the way those cute keto sugar cookies a few posts back were frozen and then brought out for today. Everyone loved them. I think they are even better after being frozen. 
May tomorrow be as nice as today! We all need a good day.
