Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sweetener until well combined and slightly fluffy. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until well emulsified.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the pecans and chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle reserved pecans and chocolate chips on top, and press lightly to adhere.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges and the center is just set. Do not overbake for a tender, chewy texture.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift out using the parchment overhang and slice into 12 bars. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
