Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °.

  2. Line a 9-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper.

  3. To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon white rice flour, cornstarch, and sorghum flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place white rice flour, cornstarch, sorghum flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a food processor; pulse until mixture resembles fine meal. Press flour mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Bake at 375 ° for 15 minutes or until edges of crust are slightly browned.

  4. While crust bakes, combine syrup and next 3 ingredients (through 1 tablespoon butter) in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; add pecans and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, stirring with a whisk. Pour mixture into hot crust. Bake at 375 ° for 10 minutes or until filling is bubbly. Cool completely in pan. Cut into 20 bars.

Why this Maple-Pecan Bars works for PCOS

A PCOS-friendly snack like this Maple-Pecan Bars should include protein or fat, not carbohydrates alone. Carb-only snacks (fruit, crackers, granola bars) spike blood sugar then crash it within 60-90 minutes, leaving you hungrier and more reactive to whatever comes next.
