I have a weakness. \u00a0I\u2019m not ashamed of it, either. \u00a0My weakness is chocolate, and during the holidays anything with chocolate and nuts is pretty much going in my mouth when I see it. Chocolate pecan pie is one of my favs, so\u00a0this year I decided to come up with a version everyone crowding around the Thanksgiving dessert table can eat. \u00a0These pecan pie bars are naturally-sweetened (no icky corn syrup here), grain\/gluten free and take pretty much no time to make. \u00a0You can make them ahead a day or two to save some time for all your other holiday cooking and baking, too.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the paleo title fool you\u2026 these bars are pure chocolate pecan pie goodness.<\/p>\n

{Paleo} Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars<\/h3>\n

Makes 16 bars<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crust<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 4 Tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter, softened<\/li>\n
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup<\/li>\n
  • pinch of salt<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup coconut flour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Filling<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 3 large eggs<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup coconut or brown sugar<\/li>\n
    • 1\/2 cup maple syrup<\/li>\n
    • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n
    • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, optional<\/li>\n
    • 1 large pinch of salt<\/li>\n
    • 1-1\/2 cups chopped pecans<\/li>\n
    • 3\/4 cup chocolate chunks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      To make the crust, preheat the oven to 350\u00b0 and lightly grease an 8\u00d78 baking pan. \u00a0In the bowl of your standing mixer, mix the butter\/coconut oil with the maple syrup and salt on medium speed until combined. Reduce the speed to low, and add in the coconut flour. \u00a0Mix on low until a soft dough forms. \u00a0Press the dough into the greased baking pan, and bake at 350\u00b0 for 7-8\u00a0minutes. \u00a0Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly while you prepare the pecan\u00a0filling.<\/p>\n

      To make the filling, in a large bowl combine\u00a0the eggs, coconut sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract and salt, and whisk until smooth. \u00a0Stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chunks. \u00a0Pour the pecan filling on top of the baked crust, and bake at 350\u00b0 until the filling is set, about 40-45 minutes. \u00a0Cool the bars completely, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
