Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the pecan halves, maple syrup, lightly beaten eggs, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 tablespoon flour. Stir until everything is well mixed.
  6. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the crust.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar.
  • Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Cool the bars completely before slicing to prevent them from falling apart.
