Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars

Here’s a super easy Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars recipe – all the flavor of pecan pie with half the effort:


🥧 Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars

Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)

  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

  • 1 egg

For the topping:

  • 1 cup light corn syrup

  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups chopped pecans


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  2. In a bowl, mix cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg until crumbly dough forms. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in pecans.

  4. Pour topping over the crust and spread evenly.

  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and edges are golden.

  6. Cool completely before cutting into bars (they firm up as they cool).


Tips:

  • For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before mixing them in.

  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before serving gives them a gourmet touch.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a week.
