  1. Pecan Pie Bars (Low-carb)

    Crust


    1.5 cups almond flour
    1/4 cup coconut flour
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/4 tsp salt

    Filling

    1/2 cup melted coconut oil
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    2/3 cup coconut sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 tbsp almond milk
    2 cups chopped pecans

    INSTRUCTIONS
    Preheat oven to 350F and prepare an 8×8 inch pan with grease or parchment paper.

    In a small bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Press into bottom of pan.
    Bake for 15-17 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
    Let crust cool completely.
    In a saucepan, heat coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla until boiling (about 3-4 minutes), stirring consistently.
    Once boiling, constantly stir and let bubble for one minute and then turn off heat. Cooking longer will result in burnt sugar.
    Stir in almond milk and pecans.
    Pour mixture over cooled crust and bake in oven for 20-22 minutes.
    Let cool on counter for 15 minutes and then in the fridge for at least two hours before serving or cutting.
    Store in fridge
