Ingredients
1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
⅓ cup maple syrup (divided: 1 tbsp for crust, rest for filling)
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups chopped pecans
2 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Stir until a soft dough forms.
3. Press the dough into the pan evenly and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
4. While the crust bakes, whisk together eggs, remaining maple syrup, vanilla, coconut sugar, and salt.
5. Fold in chopped pecans to coat evenly in the mixture.
6. Pour the pecan filling over the warm crust and spread it into an even layer.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the center is set and top is golden.
8. Let cool completely before slicing into bars. Store or freeze as desired.
Notes
Toasting the pecans before mixing adds a deeper, richer flavor.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
