Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with baking paper.
- Add the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt to a medium size bowl and mix until a crumb texture forms. Transfer to the pan and press the mixture down using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Place the pan into the hot oven and bake for 6-7 minutes. Then remove from the oven and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
- Add the coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt to a small pot and place over a medium/low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture has melted. Add in the pecans and continue to cook for a further 30 seconds, then immediately pour the mixture over the earlier baked base.
- Spread evenly over the top of the base and place the pan back into the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely before placing in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- When ready to enjoy, remove from the refrigerator and rest for 10 minutes before cutting into 16 equal sized bars and serving.
