Instructions
1
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
2
Make the shortbread layer first. Combine all shortbread ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Then, press this mixture into an even layer in the pan.
3
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or just starting to turn golden.
4
Meanwhile, add all pecan pie filling ingredients (except pecans and sea salt) to a large skillet over low medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Then, simmer for 5 to 6 minutes or until thickened.
5
Once thickened, add in pecans. Turn heat to low and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Then, remove from heat.
6
Once crust is done baking, pour pecan mixture on top. Smooth into an even layer.
7
Next, bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until pecan pie filling is set.
8
Remove from oven and cool completely.
9
Finally, garnish with sea salt if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Pecans First 🥜Lightly toast the pecans in a 325°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the filling to intensify their natural buttery flavor and prevent a soggy texture.
- Chill the Crust Before Filling 🧊Refrigerate your almond flour base for at least 30 minutes after pressing it into the pan to prevent it from rising or shifting when the wet filling is added.
- Use Room Temperature Eggs 🥚Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing into your filling for a smoother, more emulsified custard-like topping that bakes evenly without separation.
- Perfect the Maple-to-Sweetener Ratio ⚖️Use equal parts pure maple syrup and coconut sugar for depth of flavor; pure maple alone can make the bars too moist and cake-like instead of fudgy.
- Underbake Slightly for Fudgy Centers 🍫Remove bars when the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken; they'll continue cooking as they cool for that ideal chewy-fudgy texture.
