These Vegan Cinnamon Pecan Bars are a healthy dessert that the whole family will love! They are made with maple syrup, pecans, and a delicious vanilla frosting. Oh, and they are filled with all the cinnamon flavors you can ever need in life.
So I am going to admit something scandalous.
I don’t LOVE pecans. You know when it’s Christmas time and there is pecan and pumpkin pies laying around? Yeah, I usually skip those. For some reason chunks, whether it’s pecans or almonds bother me from time to time. However, I think I am finally overcoming my weird aversion to nuts on desserts!
To celebrate my broadening horizons, I decided it was time I test out something different: Vegan Cinnamon Pecan Bars.
Let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. They taste best straight out of the oven! The cinnamon flavor comes through and fills your mouth with amazing goodness.
