I’ve got a yummy little snack to have on hand while you’ve got guests in town (or will be traveling) this week … Maple Pecan Bars! Reminiscent of a Pecan Pie without the crust or all the sugar, these won’t last long. Feel free to double the recipe and bake on a half sheet pan for a bigger crowd. Enjoy! :)
Maple Pecan Bars
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted, + extra for greasing the pan
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a quarter sheet pan (13" X 9 1/2") with butter and set aside.
-
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, syrup, tablespoon of melted butter, vanilla and salt. Fold in the pecans.
-
Pour mixture into one even layer on the baking sheet. Bake until set in the center and golden brown around the edges, 14 to 16 minutes.
-
Let cool, cut into bars, and serve.

November 22, 2016 at 12:05 pmCould I use coconut oil in place of the butter?

November 29, 2016 at 12:15 pmHi. We have not subbed in this recipe but you can typically sub butter and coconut oil 1:1.

November 30, 2016 at 6:42 pmGenerally, I love the recipes from your blog and cookbook, but this was an exception. I had high hopes, but they fell flat. I took this to my family’s Thanksgiving dinner, and no one liked it. :( It literally had no taste! I was so disappointed. I followed the directions exactly, and the end result looked like the picture, so I don’t know what went wrong.

December 19, 2016 at 4:40 pmHmm. That’s odd. I’m not sure what might have gone wrong.

January 3, 2017 at 2:52 pmMine were flavorless and rubbery also. No one would eat them. Lots of $$ Spent on pecans went in the trash.

January 24, 2019 at 1:32 pmI have not been disappointed by any recipe on this site until now. Like others, mine was not great. It was kind of rubbery and spongey with not much flavor. I was disappointed with this one.
