Pecan Pie Bars | Better than making a pie!

If you want to make something that’s easier than pie, then these pecan pie bars are the answer! They’re just like their namesake but without the work of rolling out a crust. Instead, the layers of filling and pecans are made right in a baking sheet. It’s super easy and delicious!

00:00 Intro
00:18 Preparing the crust
03:12 Preparing the filling
05:56 Chopping the pecans
07:34 Pouring into the crust
08:59 Tasting the bars
INGREDIENTS
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch size pieces
For the filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups maple syrup
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To prepare the crust, in a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix to combine. Add the pieces of butter. Coat the pieces with flour and work the butter into the flour. Smash pieces of butter between your thumb and forefingers until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal and holds together when squeezed into a fist.
- Spray a 9×13 or quarter sheet pan with nonstick baking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Spread the crust mixture evenly in the prepared pan and press down, making a crust. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a bowl, whisk the eggs to break up. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, flour, melted butter, salt, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Then fold in the chopped pecans.
- When the crust is finished, remove it from the oven. Pour the prepared filling over the warm crust. Return to the oven and bake until the filling is set around the edges and jiggles slightly in the middle, 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 2 hours before slicing.

I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one that gets so distracted I forget to add stuff. Yrs ago I made pumpkin pies and I forgot to add the sugar

[@brakintlaw57]

I use a cheese grater for my butter. Really quick!

[@peggylewis3857]

You make cooking so enjoyable. You bring joy to lots of people.

[@marygonzales5957]

[@user-hc6so5ul6o]

Love your philosophy of keeping things simple and low stress, yet elegant and welcoming!

[@johntaylor7019]

Have a friend who always want pecan pie for his BD. Think I'll do this for him thus year. Thanks for another great idea.

[@christinevanzandbergen3797]

Absolutely love your demeanor and could watch you cook all day. Using maple is so clever and because I'm Canadian, well enough said,lol. Thanks so much for posting this video. You are such a sweetheart. No stress, I love it

[@lindajames4122]

I am making pies for christmas, one was going to be a pecan pie, but I am going to make your pecan bars instead. They look delicious. Thankyou for the recipe.

[@ruthallen1159]

I love these because you can cut them in smaller pieces than a pie. For me, while I love pecan pie, I can only have a few bites. Now I can just cut enough to satisfy my taste buds

[@graphicallydeb9897]

You are so much fun.. and your recipes ROCK! I am off corn syrup.. doing keto- but this week and Christmas are my cheat times. This is one of my favorite pies. My family never made it-- lol Oh the Holidays!!!

[@pamelamolyneaux2322]

Going to make these, they look scrumptious 💕 Thank You 🌹

[@carlinemcmillion7926]

Well, thanks! I have been craving pecan pie and you have upped that craving quite a bite. Those look delicious and not difficult to make. Love watching your videos!

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy this special day.

[@MadAcreFarms]

Love us some pecan pie! Going to try this bar recipe and try it with ice cream!

[@brt5273]

I haven't made a pecan pie in at least 20 years because the bars are so much better.

[@jamiewhite665]

I do feel like I’m right there in your kitchen!!! Thanks so much!

[@margaretwissler4874]

I’m so excited to try these for Thanksgiving!

[@jenb9274]

These would be great on a Christmas cookie plate. Thank you 🙏

[@ljm9092]

Yes! you are so joyful, and I love that you do everything the right way. I love your Channel. I will be making this for Thanks giving. I am tired of Pumpkin pie. so Thank you for the video and your time. Happy Holidays!!

[@Jeannified]

I am definitely making this! My best friend and I had some recently at a great restaurant in Venice, CA. We both agreed it was the best pecan dessert we had ever eaten! Thanks for this great recipe!

[@jayparmar2322]

Love this guy so entertaining

[@alyvincent5984]

I feel like we're in your kitchen having fun too, although it's difficult not to get to try the bars until I make them myself;)

[@amyspeers8012]

I live in France and host Thanksgiving every year. I only have one American pie dish so I’m always looking for other dessert recipes. I’ve never made a pecan pie/bars here because I cannot easily get corn syrup. Thanks for a recipe that doesn’t use it!

[@jaminacabral1674]

Looks delicious will definitely try this recipe ❤

[@cynthiawilson8294]

This looks fantastic

[@majmahianalambeg2022]

Love your videos mate ❤

[@patriciamathis7042]

Pecan is my favorite pie, so I can't wait to try this. I love all your videos and recipes.

Absolutely going to make these!

[@deborahkizer4664]

Thank you happy Thanksgiving. So cool. If shared . 🙏💪✌👍💛😊🦃

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Ohhh. I like that you used maple syrup instead of corn syrup because I’m allergic to corn syrup. 👍👍

[@mssixty3426]

Many thanks for your easily printed recipe at your website from the link in the description box!

[@theresaperkins9500]

Thanks so much for this!

[@alainaruble163]

Thank you so much for this!!!!

[@gabydarian]

Yum looks delicious 💫

[@kaythompson8721]

I'm making these after Thanksgiving. My 6 yr. old grandson has (severe) tree nut allergies...so there's nothing around with nuts when he's here. (luckily he's NOT allergic to peanuts!) Guaranteed hubs will love them!!

[@lizsa5727]

Made these and they are delicious!

[@mariavillacorta4140]

❤love it looks yummy delicious and easy to make it.

[@joylewis9593]

So cool! I'm so doing this...your my go to for all the holiday yum and I'm making your yummy nuts as a traditional staple again this year..love you darlin. Happy holidays to you and yours and all blessings through the new year.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Kaleb, I love pecan pie, but I hardly ever make it. Of course, now I'll have to try this one because I've always used corn syrup in mine, so I need to give your Pecan Pie Bars recipe a try. Heading for the store to get Maple syrup! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ~Margie🤗🦃🥧💐

[@marvinmartianlooney]

I'm not a big fan of pecan pie because I don't like all the "goo". This was the right amount of goo per pecans! Family approved so this will be in our desert rotation! Thank you!

[@littledotti6808]

You ruined it Kaleb when you sliced it 😝🤭😂🥰. Person who made it gets to eat all of it, lol. No need to slice it. These are great tutorials by the way. Absolutely love it.

[@julialucas1482]

Fabulous!

[@mayrarodriguez1025]

Super!! Thank you!

[@pranitalakeram9443]

Happy Thanksgiving blessings to you and your family circle! 🥧🦃🌻🍹❤

[@monserrateduran5116]

Gracias por tus recetas.

[@bonniesawyer9392]

That looks so yummy and beautiful. You did a good job honey keep up the good work and God bless you.😊

[@mauriettachase631]

Yummy!!! I’m making this for my sister n I

[@nancyhuston1939]

Thank you for a pecan pie recipe that doesn’t use corn syrup! I don’t use it!❤

[@rosemarie20]

Awesome!

[@rswastelnd211]

I use coconut syrup, but this year I was out of it. I had coconut sugar though, so I dissolved 2 or 3 cups in about 1C of water, and cooked it on about 6 on my glass top stove and made syrup. Also, you can crush your nuts by putting them in a ziploc bag and using a rolling pin.

[@Peta-Hazel-thornhill-Bim]

I plan to make the quinoa casserole dish with accorn squash for Christmas with ground turkey because my store sold out of sausage. I am doing Christmas for just two and a turkey dinner is definitely too much. This way I can portion control without ruining my it's a good introduction to quinoa for my friend who has never had any before.

[@debrasaari7289]

Thank you I have learned so much from you! Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a simple recipe: Pumpkin ice cream 1 can Pumpkin puree 4 bananas mashed 1 1/2 cinnamon 1 teaspoons Pumpkin 1 cup honey Blend together ingredients Put in a freeze container Freeze til frozen

[@judycee9263]

This sounds like a great vegan option! Couple of questions: is it a 15 or 28 oz can of pumpkin? How much cinnamon, tsp or Tbsp? I'm assuming that the 1 tsp pumpkin is pumpkin pie seasoning? How long does it usually take to freeze? Happy holidays to you and thanks for the recipe. I love pumpkin ice cream but can't always find it at the store.

[@irenehigh3175]

You're a blessing! My son is dairy-free. This pumpkin ice cream recipe might be a game changer for him! Thank you for posting.❤

[@taraallen975]

Made these and they are delicious!! I only had half of the required maple syrup, so I substituted the remainder with bourbon, and added chocolate chips!! Yummy :)

[@denisedomingue571]

Dream kitchen....so BEAUTIFUL 😍

[@candymckinnon8554]

Yummy Love your videos

[@christinebennett3907]

Delicious thank you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jrt1776]

Sometimes Ill watch your videos without sound and they are even more entertaining

[@heymomma]

Yum!!

[@elizabethmefford7200]

I have been trying to decide on a dessert for Thanksgiving. This is it! Making tomorrow. Thanks for the video. Update: I made these but mine were runny. Not sure what went wrong. I baked until 180 degrees like you said.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Well, now I gotta go get some pecans! I’m making this for Thanksgiving!

[@gj9736]

You can make the dough in your food processor by pulsing it a few times and you are done!

[@patriciamurashige6879]

Love ur oopies!! And yes u. Right …. The butter could go in last🤭🤣🥰

[@kathy5216]

I want to see how you use those adorable ceramic turkeys 🦃!

[@jodiehuff318]

Is there a specific brand of maple syrup you use....living in small town Iowa, you know how limited our choices are

[@suepierce7216]

Can this be made an 8 x 8 square pan instead by decreasing the ingredients slightly?

[@juliemendoza7258]

Is this a shortbread crust?

[@tamaraturnbull1968]

Where can I find the exact measurements please

[@lizsa5727]

Can this dough be frozen?

[@shawnaweiss5407]

Let’s!❤

[@annm6941]

🥰✅

[@toyajohnson769]

Can this method be done as a cheesecake bar?

[@jrt1776]

How can anyone not like a pecan? A bar makes better sense with all that sugar

[@simplyhappy420]

It wouldn’t be a true Wyde Guide video if you didn’t forget to add an ingredient 😂

[@williamspratt5337]

You did not give measurements of the ingredients how much of each item???

[@candicecollinsonmcintyre7926]

Where is the recipe listed?

[@heathere.6557]

I made these for Thanksgiving following the recipe to a T and they came out soggy and sticky on the bottom. Not sure why 😭 the flavor was delicious though.

[@anettediazrivera7193]

can you write out the recipe

[@lupitagonzalez5259]

Porque mis pecan bars huelen mucho a huevo

[@jrt1776]

thank you for not dirtying a spoon to measure vanilla

[@chip7136]

I tried and learded that baking is not one of my marketable skills 😫

[@user-jr1nz2vq9s]

This would be so much easier with measurements…..

[@myrajanewhiley7629]

It would be very much appreciated if you would stop gulping when you swallow as it is very improper whether you are talking our eating.

[@davidkuhl9838]

Happy Thanksgiving. Do a Q and A . Thanks

[@majmahianalambeg2022]

Love your videos mate ❤
