This is the thing you want to make for Thanksgiving dessert, the thing that no one will have a clue is vegan. They’re perfect. We’ve also included a variation that adds a layer of chocolate to the mix.
pecan bars
crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup raw pecans, chopped
6 tablespoons Earth Balance butter, cold
filling
4 tablespoons Earth balance butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup real maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 c Just Egg
1 3/4 cups raw pecans, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 and butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line it with two strips of parchment paper, coming up and over the edges (for lifting out the bars later).
In a food processor, pulse all of the crust ingredients together - except for the butter - until the mixture resembles cornmeal (about 5 1-second pulses). Then add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles sand (5 to 10 more pulses).
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and then bake for 20 minutes. The crust will be light brown.
While the crust is baking, whisk together all the filling ingredients, except for the pecans.
Pour the filling into the hot crust. Sprinkle the 1 3/4 cups pecans evenly over the top.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes. Bars will have solidified a great deal, but not completely - a little jiggle is okay. Remove from oven, place pan on a wire rack and cool for 1 hour. Next, refrigerate the bars for 30 minutes.
Use the parchment to remove the bars from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut into bars.
chocolate pecan bars
Yummy variation: Add a layer of semisweet chocolate chips on top of the crust before pouring in the filling.
Another pitch perfect dessert: chocolate cloud cookies
