Not a pecan pie fan? You will be one after trying these pecan pie bars! 

Sweet, salty, buttery, and delicious, these bars are even better than the traditional

🧈Ingredients
-For the Crust
1.25 c almond flour
¼ c arrowroot flour
¼ c coconut sugar
½ tsp salt
¼ c grass fed butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: water (if needed to bind dough)
-For the Pecan Layer
2 tbsp ghee
½ c maple syrup
⅓ c coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1.5 c pecans, chopped
Optional: flaky sea salt

📖Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. 
-Mix almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut sugar, and salt in a bowl. 
-In a separate bowl, add butter and vanilla extract and mix. 
-Pour mixture into dry ingredients and knead until a dough forms. If you need, add 1-2 tbsp water to make the dough form.
-Press dough into an 8x8 baking pan and bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes. 
-Take dough out of the oven and let it cool. While the dough is cooling, add ghee, maple syrup, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to a saucepan. 
-Heat mixture until boiling and turn to low/medium heat. Continually mix as mixture bubbles and thickens, cooking for about 5 minutes.
-Turn off heat and stir pecans into mixture. Pour mixture on top of crust and spread evenly. Option to top with flaky salt. 
-Bake for 20-30 minutes or until pecan mixture starts to caramelize.
