To begin I dumped some margarine, Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour and granulated sugar into a mixing bowl. 

I combined them using an electric hand mixer.

Once the ingredients were blended they formed a crumbly mixture.  

I then dumped the mixture into an 8 inch square pan that had been sprayed with cooking oil and lined with parchment paper.

Using my hands, I pressed the crust down to pack it evenly in the pan.

Then I placed it in a 350F oven to bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

While the base was cooking I prepared the topping by measuring some maple syrup, almond milk, brown sugar, the remaining margarine and chopped pecans into a sauce pan.

Then I stirred all the ingredients together over medium heat.

I continued stirring until the mixture came to a boil and then I let it simmer for 2 minutes.

When it was done simmering I poured it in the pan over top of the prepared crust. 

Then I returned the pan to the 350F oven for another 20 minutes.

After removing it from the oven I let it cool slightly before running a knife around the edges. 

I allowed it to cool completely in the pan before lifting it out with the parchment paper and cutting it into squares.

Pecan Pie Squares are the perfect addition to any holiday dessert tray.   This gluten free version is an easy dessert that is chewy and loaded with pecans.
