pecans

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: almonds

Walnuts provide a similar crunch and flavor at a lower cost.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index while maintaining sweetness.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Agave syrup is a lower-calorie alternative that retains sweetness.

Pulse 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of almonds in a food processor until broken up into a fine crumb.

Dump the brown sugar nut mixture into a bowl.

Arrange 5 strips of center cut bacon on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

Sprinkle the brown sugar nut mixture over the bacon and press it into the bacon slices.

Roast the bacon in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.

Once finished, the bacon should be crispy, the brown sugar caramelized, and the nuts toasted.

Let the praline bacon cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
