Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
4. Pour the pecan filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly tacky to the touch.
5. Allow the Easy Pecan Pie Bars to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Notes
For an extra indulgent touch, serve the bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
