Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 cup almond flour Use blanched almond flour for best texture.
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour Ensure it's finely ground for a smooth crust.
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted Can be replaced with unsalted butter for non-vegan.
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup For sweetness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.

For the Filling

  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped Fresh pecans suggested.
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup Sweetener for the filling.
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream Add creamy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water (flax egg) Serves as a binding agent; can substitute with chia egg.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon For warmth and spice.
  • Pinch salt Enhances flavors.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Use a flat measuring cup to smooth the top.

Pre-bake the Crust

  • Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Make the Filling

  • In a separate bowl, mix together the pecans, maple syrup, coconut cream, flax egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Assemble the Bars

  • Pour the pecan filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.

Bake Again

  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.

Cool and Serve

  • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. Enjoy these Healthy Pecan Pie Bars warm or at room temperature!

Notes

Use fresh pecans for the best flavor. For vegan options, stick with the flax egg as the binding agent. Let the bars cool fully to make them easier to cut.
