Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
For the Pecan Filling:
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup (or any low-carb syrup)
- 1/4 cup low-carb sweetener
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it’s just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, sugar-free maple syrup, sweetener, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Pour the pecan filling over the partially baked crust.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the pecan pie bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy your Keto and Paleo Pecan Pie Bars!
