Description
Delightful bars combining rich maple syrup and crunchy pecans, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish lightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, softened butter, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until crumbly, then press it into the bottom of your prepared baking dish to form a crust.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and pour the filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle sea salt over the top liberally.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set and no longer wobbly.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
