MeShell’s diner is dishing up the goods again. These maple pecan pie bars are to die for! A brilliant recipe for vanlife, campervans & motorhomes everywhere. Each slice brings the taste of a good ol’ american diner.

Maple syrup and pecans are a match made in heaven, and the flavour combo is something else. Pecan pie is such an American classic, these pie bars take it to the next level, and it will be hard to eat just one.

MeShell made this for the bake off at the Vanlife Eats Big Picnic and she was crowned a worthy winner. This recipe does require an oven and a fridge. They are great to prepare in the van and take on picnics, hikes, or treks. To be honest we could eat them all day regardless.
