Recipe by Robert Landolphi Reminiscent of pecan pie, gluten-free Maple-Pecan Bars deserve a spot at your holiday dessert buffet. Use pure maple syrup to form the gooey brown sugar and pecan mixture needed to make these heavenly bars.

Ingredients

  • 2.6 ounces white rice flour (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2.3 ounces cornstarch (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2.1 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

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.
