1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt

1¼ cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup ghee
Bake for 10 minutes until the edges are golden, then cool for 10 minutes.
While the crust is cooling, whisk together ghee and coconut sugar in a saucepan over medium heat just until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
1/2 cup ghee, 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp sea salt
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk.
4 eggs
Pour the heated filling mixture into the eggs slowly while continuously whisking so the eggs don't cook.
Stir in pecans, then pour over the crust.
2 cup pecan halves
Bake for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set without being jiggly.
Cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Slice into 16 squares, and enjoy!
