Ooey Gooey Pecan Pie Bars
You read that correctly! Pecan Pie bars that are gluten free, dairy free, and paleo friendly. I don’t think you will find this around the Thanksgiving table, but with these bars, times could change!
When looking in the pantry and deciding what to make, I always look at the random ingredients that I have on hand. First thing I saw was Pecan Butter, and the second thing I saw was Date syrup. So of course, pecan pie bars come to mind because what else would! These bars are made with Coconut Flour, Almond Flour, Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, Date Syrup, Almond Milk, Vanilla Extract, Coconut Oil, and an Orange Bourbon Infused Honey. An arrangement of flavors that brings out such a unique and delicious flavor!

Tips on how to make these bars the best
- What if I do not have date syrup?
- If you do not have date syrup, do not worry! You can always puree your own dates, or you can use maple syrup in replacement for the date syrup.
- Do you have to use coconut flour and almond flour?
- No you do not! You may substitute any flour of your choice. I like to use coconut flour for the shortbread crust because it makes it taste just like shortbread.
