Gluten-Free Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan pie is so sweet that we love to cut a tray of small bars. These pecan pie bars also have a gluten-free shortbread crust!
Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 flour blend
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter
Filling:
- ½ cup butter
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free 1:1 flour blend
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
Crust:
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt. If butter is soft, mix in with your hands to pea sized crumbs. If butter is cold, grate it in.
- Line a 9x13 pan with parchment and press it in.
Filling:
- Melt butter and use the same bowl you used for crust, pour in butter, add flour, sugar, maple syrup, milk, mix up. Then add eggs and vanilla. Whisk well.
- Pour over crust. Sprinkle pecans all over the filling.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate pan and go another 15 minutes. Check if set, if not, bake another few minutes.
- Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Use walnuts for a cheaper option. You can also use raw sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to make nut-free bars.
