Praline Shortbread Squares

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with grapeseed oil and dust with almond flour.

   Step 2

   To make the shortbread, blend the almond flour, salt, grapeseed oil, and agave nectar in a food processor until smooth. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish.

   Step 3

   Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

   Step 4

   While the shortbread bakes, prepare the pralines. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, then add the agave nectar and vanilla extract. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the pecans. Remove the praline mixture from the heat, cool to room temperature, and spread over the shortbread.

   Step 5

   Place in the refrigerator for 3 hours to set. Cut into squares and serve.
