Pecan pie is one of my favorite things on the planet. I wanted to put a really fun spin on them and make it easy too. These easy vegan pecan pie crumble bars are incredible. Buttery, gooey, crunchy and so freaking delicious. The bottom crust and the crumble are made out of the same dough. The pecan pie filling is super simple and made from pretty basic pantry ingredients. These bars might be your new go to for Thanksgiving or any fall and winter parties.
What You Need For These Vegan Pecan Bars:
- All Purpose Flour, Powdered Sugar, Oats: These are the dry ingredients for the crust and the topping.
- Vegan Butter and Vanilla: I used Country Crock Plant Butter. These go in both the crust and the filling.
- Corn Syrup and Cane Sugar: These start the filling.
- Cornstarch and Flour: To thicken the filling, these replace the eggs.
- Pecans: Roasted and salted.
These easy vegan pecan pie crumble bars will disappear so quickly. Lay a plate of these out at a party and they will not last long. The buttery shortbread crust, the pecan filling that is sweet and gooey, the topping that is crunchy and crispy. I honestly don’t know if you can find anything more satisfying for the fall and winter holidays. Plus, they are super fast to make. No fancy equipment needed either, you can just stir and whisk everything!

Easy Vegan Pecan Pie Crumble Pies
Ingredients
Crust and Topping
- 2 Cups All purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup Powdered sugar, organic
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Vegan butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/3 Cup Quick cooking oats
Filling
- 1 Cup Corn syrup, light
- 1 Cup Organic cane sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon All purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 1/2 Cups Roasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees(F).
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and powdered sugar. Stir in the salt.
- Add the vegan butter and vanilla to the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Or use a hand mixer. This will be super thick, like a cookie dough. Just continue to stir until fully combined.
- Pour half of the dough into the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the pan evenly to form the crust.
- Add the oats to the remaining dough stir together and set aside.
- Now in a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, sugar, cornstarch, flour, salt, melted butter and vanilla until fully combined.
- Pour the pecans into the bowl, then fold them into the mixture.
- Pour the pecan mixture over the crust and smooth out evenly.
- Crumble the rest of the dough over the top of the pecan filling evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bars are golden brown.
- I recommend letting cool until firm on the counter and then removing the bars from the pan to finish cooling. Especially if using a metal pan. The edges will get really crunchy like toffee and then the bars are hard to remove from the pan if left in the pan to cool.
