Paleo Pecan Pie Bars
Description
The crust combines almond flour, coconut sugar, finely ground pecans, and salt, mixed with softened grass-fed butter or ghee until crumbly and pressed into a foil-lined pan. After baking and cooling, the pecan topping is prepared by boiling maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, almond milk, ghee, and salt, then stirred with vanilla extract and coarsely chopped pecans.
This topping is poured over the cooled crust and baked until bubbling, producing bars that balance a slightly crisp base with a rich, caramelized nut topping. Cooling and chilling before cutting helps the bars set properly.
Paleo Pecan Pie Bars provide a paleo-friendly alternative to traditional pecan pies, suitable for gatherings or sweet snacks where grain-free options are preferred.
