DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine almond flour, 1 egg, oil, cornstarch, and sea salt, using a mixer or a food processor, until well combined; dough will be very stiff.

Press by hand evenly into a greased 8x8 inch square pan; bake for 17 minutes.

Blend the dates in a food processor on high for about 1 minute, until paste-like.

Add the 2 eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla; process on high until smooth.

Pour this filling mixture over the warm crust and evenly sprinkle pecans over the top, pressing them in lightly.

Bake for another 30-35 minutes.

Allow the bars to cool before cutting.
