Ingredients You Need for Pecan Pie Bars [Vegan]
How to Prepare Pecan Pie Bars [Vegan]
To Make the Crust:
- Line an 8 by 6-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to cut the coconut oil into the flour until it’s crumbly.
- Add the maple syrup and water, starting with 4 tablespoons of water and adding more if needed, and continue to mix until you have thick dough.
- Evenly press the dough into the prepared baking pan and place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
- While the crust is chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- When the oven is ready, place the crust in the oven to blind bake for 10 minutes. It will be slightly soft but not gooey and should be just lightly golden in color.
- Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside while you prepare the filling. Keep the oven at 350°F.
To Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut sugar, arrowroot powder, and vanilla extract. Add the pecans and lightly toss to evenly coat the pecans.
- Pour the filling over the par-baked crust, place the pan back in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes, or until the middle is entirely set.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes, then place the pan in the refrigerator until the bars are fully chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
- Once chilled, slice into 8, 9, or 16 bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
