- Bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden, then let it cool for 10 minutes.
Making the Filling
- Heat the coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla in a saucepan, until slightly boiling.
- Stir constantly. Once boiling, the sugar should start to thicken after about 2-3 minutes. Then turn off the heat. If you cook any longer the sugar may burn.
- Add in almond milk and pecans.
- Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes.
- Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool for about 15 minutes and then place them in the fridge for at least two hours before cutting.
- Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, whipped cream or you can eat them plain.
