Pecan-Pineapple Bites - Wheat Belly Friendly!

Pecan-Pineapple Bites

(makes 30 bites or about 12 muffin size)

Our take on Dr. Davis' recipe on page 223 of the 30-minute Or Less cookbook.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes + chilling time

You’ll Need:

• 1 cup ground pecans
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• Stevia or Truvia*, equivalent to ¼ cup sugar
• 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 30 pecan halves

How to make it:

1. On a baking sheet or large plate, arrange 30 mini paper liners (in our case we only had cupcake liners, so we had about half as many "bites").

2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground pecans, butter, and sweetener. Mix thoroughly. Spoon evenly into the liners, pressing down with your fingers or a spoon. Set aside.

3. In another bowl, combine the pineapple and cream cheese. Stir until well blended.

4. Spoon evenly over the pecan crusts. Place 1 pecan half on top of each. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

These little fellers are delicious and satisfy your need for something sweet!
