Servings: 9
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 1/2 cups pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 1” overhang.
- In a medium bow, mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Then, add in the flours and salt and mix together with a spatula. Add the crust to the prepared baking pan and press down to form a crust. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once the crust is cooled, add coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt to a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and whisk continuously for 2 minutes before removing from the heat and adding in the milk and pecans.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the cooled crust and bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool for 15-20 minutes in the pan before transferring them to the fridge to completely cool, about 2 hours.
- Remove from the fridge, cut, and serve. Enjoy!
