Description
A delightful twist on a classic dessert, these bars combine rich buttery pecans with the sweetness of pure maple syrup, featuring a chewy texture and a touch of salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup; stir until smooth. Then add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined, then gently fold in the chopped pecans.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares and sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. These bars can be served warm or at room temperature and pair well with ice cream.
