variation (if any)

• Add a pinch of cinnamon to the pecan mix for warm spice.
• Swap sugar-free syrup for a bit of honey or maple if you do not need sugar-free bars (note: this changes carbs).
• Mix in a few dark chocolate chips on top before chilling for a richer taste.

FAQs

Q: Can I bake these instead of chilling?
A: Yes, you can bake at 325°F (160°C) for 12–15 minutes if you want a firmer, baked bar. Watch closely so the pecans do not burn.

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
A: You can, but the texture will change. Use about 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and expect a different crust feel.

Q: Are these bars suitable for a low-carb diet?
A: The recipe uses almond flour and sugar-free syrup, so it fits many low-carb plans. Check labels of sweetener and syrup to be sure.

Q: How do I cut clean bars?
A: Chill well, use a sharp knife, and wipe the knife between cuts for neat edges.
