Raspberry Pecan Tart Squares

Dessert, Dinner Party, Gluten FreeRespond to this post »

This Raspberry Pecan Tart falls firmly into the “if it worked make it again, just change up the flavor a bit” category.  As you may know, not all gluten free baked goods turn out, even those you may have made many times.  It’s all chemistry honey, and perhaps some astrology too, because at times I feel as if all the stars need to align for gf creations to be successful.
 
A few of the other versions of these bars are my Raspberry Almond Squares and Blueberry Almond Crumble.  Just switch up the name, and swap in  different fruit and nuts and now you have a new dessert! How innovative!
 
Honestly, around here no one complains about any baked good that I create. It’s something sweet, yummy, and not veggie-filled. No one will whine about that……
