Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, and baking powder. Mix well.
  7. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the dough in the pan.
  8. Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the pecan filling.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a richer maple flavor, use pure maple syrup.
  • You can toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling for extra flavor.
  • These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
