Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.33 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 cups Pecans, roughly chopped
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.33 cup Maple syrup (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut milk (full fat)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to form a dough.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth it out evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it is just slightly golden around the edges. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans and stir to coat them evenly in the filling mixture.

Step 7

Pour the filling over the partially baked crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling has set and the edges are golden brown. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour. For easier slicing, refrigerate for an additional 1-2 hours.

Step 10

Once fully cooled and firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, and slice into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
