Pecan Pie Bars
These mini pecan pie bars are my version of a healthier pecan pie. And with only 6 ingredients and no baking they are super easy to make too. A great alternative if you are looking for something which is refined sugar free but still tastes like an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Base ingredients:
- 1 cup pecans (125g)
- 1 cup almond flour ground almonds (100g)
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup smooth almond or peanut butter (60g)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp sea salt optional
Topping ingredients:
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (200g)
- 1 cup pecans (125g)
- 15 extra pecans halves for the top
Instructions
- To make the base, blend 1 cup pecans into a flour and mix with the other base ingredients. Press into a greased (and lined) loaf tin. Refrigerate whilst you make the topping.
- To make the topping, add the pitted dates and pecans to a food processor and blend until smooth. If your dates are a bit dry add 1-2 tbsp of water as you blend. Once fully combined, spread on top of the base and top with extra pecans. Refrigerate to set for at least an hour.
- Once hard, cut into squares.
Notes
- Store in the fridge. They will keep for about a week.
- They also freeze well.
