Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup flaxmeal
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teapoon salt
  • 1 cup pecan butter (*see note)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teapoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 package dairy free chocolate chips (I prefer Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips, but use your favorite (**see note))
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 8x11 baking pan (***see note) with parchment paper and leave enough hanging over the sides to use as your "handles" later.
  • Whisk together the flour, flaxmeal, sugar and salt in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the pecan butter, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined. Use your hands and really get in there to mash it all together.
  • Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and flatten it down with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top starts to firm up.
  • Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and bake another 2 to 3 minutes until the chocolate gets melty.
  • With an off set spatula, spread out the chocolate evenly over the bars.
  • Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pecans.
  • Leave the bars in the baking pan on a wire rack for at least 10 to 15 minutes. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Using the parchment paper "handles" lift the whole thing out of the pan and set on the wire rack to continue cooling all the way.
  • Cut into bars and enjoy!
