Okay, so the other day I was boiling a pot of water and freaking out to the guy. Hair a hot mess in a bun and wearing a t-shirt stained in cranberry sauce from a shoot earlier. He tells me to stop and “come here.” I thought he was going to slap me.

Instead he gave me the biggest, longest hug and kissed me over and over telling me everything was going to be fine. I know corny, but it did make me melt. Don’t tell him that. We don’t want this to go to his head.

Speaking of something that will make you melt, these Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars are sure to melt in your mouth and make your heart melt too. Oh my! That’s corny. All this holiday buzz is making me mushy.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup dates pitted and soaked in water 20 minutes
  • 3/4 cup Gluten Free Baking Flour
  • 1 scoop collagen
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 flax egg 1 tbsp flax meal + 2 tbsp water set for 10 minutes in the fridge

For the filling:

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2/3 cup raw pecans chopped
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free dark chocolate
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  1. In a ramekin, mix together the ground flax with 2 tablespoons of water to make a flax egg. Set aside 10 minutes until thickened. 

  2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

  3. In a food processor, combine the dates (water drained) with maple syrup, collagen and flour.

  4. Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan pressing it into the bottom and corners into the pan to form an even layer.
  5. Bake at 350 F 10 minutes until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and cool 15 minutes while you make the filling.
  6. Bring a saucepan to medium heat with the coconut sugar, coconut oil and dark chocolate.

  7. Continue to mix the mixture as it begins to simmer then remove from the heat once the chocolate is melted. Stir the chopped pecans into the saucepan.
  8. Pour the mixture over the then crust then bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes until set.
  9. Remove from the oven and cool the bars completely until set before slicing into 12 bars. I set mine in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden which helped with cutting them.

    I LOVE this idea! We do Kentucky Derby Pie every year – basically pecan pie with bourbon and chocolate chips. I feel like I could booze these up and still have a healthier version!
