Ingredients
¾ cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
¼ cup melted coconut oil
3 tablespoons maple syrup (for crust)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs
½ cup maple syrup (for filling)
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1¼ cups chopped pecans
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix into a dough.
3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, ½ cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans.
5. Pour filling over the crust, spreading evenly.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set in the center and golden on top.
7. Let bars cool completely before slicing for clean edges. Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the crust cools before pouring in the filling to prevent it from separating.
Use parchment paper to easily lift the bars out for slicing.
Toast the pecans beforehand for added depth and crunch.
