    Home » Rich "Buttery" Pecan Pie Bars || Grain-Free Dairy-Free

    Rich "Buttery" Pecan Pie Bars || Grain-Free Dairy-Free

    I decided to whip up some pecan bars yesterday because this time of year always reminds me of my grandmas famous pecan pie. I used to love it as a kid but it always left me feeling really full and a tad guilty. I stopped eating it after a few years knowing it wasn't all that healthy.

    Pecan Pie Bars! Sure, sign me up! @julinovotny #puremamas | vegan + gluten-free

    So this year I tried out a few different "healthier" (vegan) recipes and then developed my own special creation. I guess you could call these paleo and vegan pecan pie bars because they have no grains and no refined sugars or animal products like eggs or dairy. There is only a little coconut oil and they are sweetened with dates and maple syrup. 

    There is something about the smell and taste of lightly toasted nuts but pecans in general are so festive and aromatic. If you haven't already tried my pecan milk spicy hot cocoa recipe, please do - recipe is over on my Instagram account - I made a video tutorial as well.

    Pecan Pie Bars! Heck yes! Vegan Gluten-free Recipe @JuliNovotny #puremamas

    This recipe is fun on a rainy day because it's really easy and simple. It looks like it takes hours and might be tricky but nope, it's really quick and the kids can help out with it as well. 

    If I had to describe the flavor and texture of this healthy pecan pie bar I would say something like: Think short bread meets date balls or something like that.

    Rich "Buttery" Pecan Pie Bars || Vegan Grain Free @julinovotny recipe

    Rich + "Buttery" Pecan Pie Bars Recipe

    yields 12 bars

    INGREDIENTS

    Crust

    1 cup coconut flour

    1 cup almond flour

    4 tablespoon melted coconut oil (paleo) or room temp vegan butter spread

    4 tablespoon maple syrup

    pinch sea salt

    Topping

    ½ cup chopped fresh dates

    ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
    2. Put raw pecans onto a baking dish and bake for about 8 minutes until well toasted but not burned.  

    Crust

    1. By hand or in a food processor combine and mix/whisk together the flours and sea salt. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/blend really well until well combined and dough is formed. 
    2. Press dough into a casserole dish or deep dish square baking pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown on edges as shown. Let cool completely before adding topping (you can put it into the fridge to cool quicker).

    Topping

    1. Combine all the ingredients except for the toasted pecans in a sauce pan.
    2. Heat the saucepan on medium until the mixture comes to light boil. Using a whisk, whisk it all together until melted and sauce like. About 2 minutes. Let cool.

    3. Turn off oven. Remove Pecan Pie Bars and let sit until cooled completely. 
    4. Serve Immediately or let set in the fridge and serve the next day. 

    Enjoy!

    XOXO - Juli

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
