Pecan Pie Bars

Ingredients

Crumb crust:
* 2 cups Pecans or pecan pieces
* 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
* ½ tsp Stevia
* ¼ tsp Cinnamon
* Dash Sea Salt

Pecan “pie filling”:
* 1 cup Almond Milk
* 8 oz Pitted Dates
* 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
* 2 Tbsp Flax Seeds
* 1 cup Pecans or pecan pieces
* ¼ cup Sorghum Flour
* 1 tsp Baking Powder—Aluminum Free

1. Preheat oven to 350º .
2. Coat a baking pan with coconut or canola oil.
3. Grind 2 cups of pecans in a food processor. Add to your mixing bowl.
4. Add the rest of the crumb crust ingredients to the bowl and use a sturdy spoon or fork to blend everything together.
5. Spread the mixture over the bottom of your pan.
6. Check your dates one-by-one for pits—there will always be at least one or two left in a package of “pitted dates.”
7. Use the food processor to chop the dates into a puree, and add the dates to the bowl.
8. Add the almond milk and coconut oil to the bowl, and use a sturdy spoon or fork to blend until the dates are not clumped together.
9. Grind the flax seeds to a powder in a coffee grinder, and add to bowl.

**NOTE TO MY FRIENDS**
Come on in for a nice cup of coffee and a chat about my weight loss journey as well as all the healthy recipes I have found, including WW points and/or nutritional information if available. I am eating a vegetarian diet and concentrating on getting healthy and hopefully weight loss will follow. Thank to all my readers for their ongoing support.
