Pecan Pie Bars | No Corn Syrup | Natural Sweetener

Love having a piece of pecan pie with a cup of coffee! Well, when I use to drink coffee...Instead, I drink it with my coffee substitute drink.

Anyways, this is a great pecan pie recipe turned in to bars! However, you can make it in to a traditional pie form if you wish!

Its gluten free, dairy free, egg free, grain free, and sweetened naturally with dates and pure maple syrup! If you have food allergies this would be a great replacement for the real thing!
