This is a rich dessert perfect not only for Thanksgiving but also for Christmas, New Year’s Eve and any other holiday or celebration. Even though I made it healthier by using unprocessed ingredients, this dessert is very rich and sweet, and I would eat it in moderation.
I made this dessert twice – the first time I used mostly honey and some maple syrup for the pecan topping and it turned out amazing. The second time, I used only maple syrup and it was too runny, so I don’t recommend substituting honey with maple syrup in this recipe.
These sticky Paleo pecan pie bars are ooey gooey and so delicious, you will lick your fingers. These bars are a pecan pie lovers dream.
Hope you enjoy them and happy 1st of December! 🙂
How to Make Paleo Pecan Pie Bars
What you need:
Crust
2 1/2 cup almond flour
1 cup coconut sugar
1 cup finely grounded pecans
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup grass-fed butter (ghee for Paleo)
Pecan Topping
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup coconut sugar
4 Tbsp almond milk
6 Tbsp grass-fed butter (ghee for Paleo)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups coarsely chopped pecans
Instructions
Crust
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix flour, coconut sugar, finely grounded pecans, salt in a mixing bowl. Add softened grass-fed butter and mix using your hands until mixture resembles coarse meal. Line bottom and sides of a 13 x 9 inch pan with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil with oil. Press mixture into the bottom of prepared pan.
Bake at 350 F for 20 – 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack for about 20 – 30 minutes.
Pecan Topping
Bring maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, almond milk, grass-fed butter and salt extract to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter melts and the mixture is smooth; boil stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and 3 cups coarsely chopped pecans. Pour pecan topping over cooled crust.
Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes or until filling bubbles. Cool bars completely in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Chill bars 1 hour before cutting.

These look sooo delicious!
Sticky is good when it comes to pecan pie 🙂
Pecan pie is one of my favorite desserts! This seems like a great way to enjoy it in snack form!
Wow! I’m almost licking my screen! Those look amazing…and healthy!?!? What’s not to love! I’m thinking they would be perfect for my goodie Christmas baskets this year!
These looks so rich and wonderful! It reminds me of my Mom’s pecan pie recipe (minus the Karo), which is one of my husband’s favorites. I’ll have to try these out on him, as they’re much healthier!
Brilliant combo. Just the sort of thing I am looking for to treat guests to at Christmas.
Yum! These look so much better than pecan pie! I love the blend of sweeteners (can taste it now) and bet this would work perfectly as dairy-free paleo with coconut oil, too!
These just look too amazing! LOVE.
What a great new way to use those pecans! Delish!
What a great spin on pecan pie! They look chewy and delicious.
