Pecan Pie topping
  1. Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan on stove or microwave 1-2 minutes until melted.
  2. Stir in the xylitol, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla and salt.
  3. Once all combined stir in the chopped pecans until well coated.
  4. Once the brownies are out of the oven, pour this topping evenly over the brownies and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until the center topping is almost set but still a bit jiggly.
  5. Allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.
