- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup maple syrup

- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
- If you don’t have chopped pecans, you can use pecan halves and chop them yourself.
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the best texture.
