These keto chocolate pecan pie muffins are a dream come true! Rich chocolate cake with a pecan pie topping, you won’t believe they are low-carb.
Pecan Pie Muffins
Imagine your two favorite desserts combined into one amazing treat. Then, imagine that this dessert is both low-carb and gluten-free (and actually pretty good for you).
My two favorite things are pecan pie and chocolate cake, and I put them together to create an epic muffin that you can eat for breakfast but feel like you’re indulging in an incredible dessert.
Both the muffin and the topping are filled with ingredients that are both good for you and tasty at the same time. The chocolate muffin is made with coconut flakes (healthy fats), chopped pecans (good protein), and almond milk.
In fact, you could consider them dairy-free if you replace the butter with ghee.

Chances are you will fall in love with these muffins after just one bite. They taste amazing when they’re fresh out of the oven.
If you let them cool down, you can add the sugar-free caramel sauce and a few pecans to make them look (and taste) even more like pecan pie.
I’ll be honest, I struggle with whether to call them muffins or cupcakes. They have a soft texture that reminds me of a cupcake, but are healthy enough to be a muffin.
Since I didn’t really add any frosting, I guess they qualify as keto chocolate muffins.
Keto Chocolate Muffins
It might shock you to realize that there are only 4 grams net carbs in each rich, fudgy, chocolate muffin. But that’s accurate!
You can eat them for breakfast or at the end of your lunch – all without going over on your macros!
One quick note about the almond flour. Please, double check your ingredients and make sure you don’t use almond meal on accident.
They look identical and are sold together in the store. It’s easy to mix them up but if you use almond meal, the muffins will have a slightly grainy texture to them.
Keto Chocolate Recipes
If you’re thinking about serving these muffins at a brunch or a party, then I have a bunch of other low-carb chocolate recipes that will go perfectly with them. First, start out with my easy Keto Brownie Muffins Recipe.
They are a bit richer and fudgier than these chocolate pecan muffins. And if you want to make a cake with a lof of similar ingredients as these muffins, then make my Keto German Chocolate Pecan Pound Cake.
It’s easy to slice and tastes incredible or just go for a classic Keto Chocolate Pecan Pie! It’s so rich and has those iconic chocolate and caramel flavors.
I have two more recipes that you might also like! For a party, serve some Keto Air Fryer Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites or some really rich Low Carb No Bake Death By Chocolate Cheesecake Bars.
Both choices are crowd pleasers.
How To Store Muffins
I suggest storing these rich pecan muffins in a sealed, airtight container and keeping the muffins in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days.
You can freeze them, too. First, place the muffins – uncovered – on a baking sheet.
This will freeze them. Then wrap each muffin in plastic wrap and put them together in an airtight and freezer safe food storage bag.
Keep the muffins in the freezer for up to six months.
