How to Make Pecan Pie Bars

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Mix the crust ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in melted butter and honey until crumbly.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan. Pre-bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Prepare the filling by melting butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, then cool slightly.
  • Once cooled, stir in the lightly beaten eggs and pecans until well combined.
  • Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and golden.
  • Cool completely in the pan before slicing. Enjoy at room temperature.
