Instructions
To make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9”x 13” x 2" baking pan, and line with parchment paper so that the ends overhang by a couple of inches on the two short ends.
- Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and mix using a pastry blender or a fork until combined. The mixture will be crumbly but will hold together when pinched.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Set aside.
To make the filling:
- Place the eggs in a large bowl and beat lightly. Add the maple syrup, melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, and salt, stirring until combined. Stir in the nuts.
- Pour the filling over the partially baked crust. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Cool the bars completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board and cut into bars.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
