Description
Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars bring all the indulgence of a classic pecan pie—without the rolling pin. A buttery shortbread crust is layered with a rich, gooey filling and topped with crunchy pecans. They’re quick, effortless, and wildly satisfying, perfect for holidays, potlucks, or a weeknight craving.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, butter, and granulated sugar until crumbly.
3. Press crust mixture evenly into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking pan.
4. Bake crust for 18–20 minutes or until lightly golden.
5. While crust bakes, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl.
6. Fold in chopped pecans to the filling mixture.
7. Pour filling over hot crust and spread evenly.
8. Return to oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, until center is just set.
9. Cool completely in pan before slicing into bars.
10. Store in an airtight container or freeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
Let the bars cool completely before cutting for clean edges and structure.
Toasting the pecans beforehand enhances their flavor and crunch.
Use parchment paper in the pan for easy lift-out and no-stress cleanup.
