Follow these easy steps to create your Lazy Girl Pecan Pie Bars:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3. Press the Mixture: Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust layer.

4. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden.

5. Mix Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

6. Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the chopped pecans into the egg mixture until well distributed.

7. Pour Filling: Remove the crust from the oven and pour the pecan filling over the baked crust evenly.

8. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and edges are lightly browned.

9. Cool: Allow the bars to cool in the baking pan for 20-30 minutes before cutting into squares.

10. Serve: Once cool, slice the bars into squares and serve.

Following these steps ensures a hassle-free baking experience, resulting in delightful bars that everyone will love.
