Ingredients

Base:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Filling:

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cup raw pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a square 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • To make the base, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine or until wet and clumpy.
  • Transfer the base to your prepared pan and gently press it all over the base in an even layer. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In the same bowl you made the base (no need to wash!), combine the honey, coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and stir in the pecans.
  • Remove the base from the oven once ready, and spread over the pecan filling. Return to the oven and bake for 16-18 minutes or until set.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

You can cut these into 9 larger or 18 smaller servings. They are sweet, so I suggest serving them in small pieces or large pieces with yogurt.
Storage recommendations:
    • In the refrigerator: Once cooled, pecan pie bars are best stored covered or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
    • In the freezer: Once these are completely cool, transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy one, let it thaw a bit at room temperature before eating.
