I'm sure I must have done something wrong, although I really did follow the recipe (for a change). A real shame, as I had pinned this a while ago and was looking forward to trying it, hoping it might resemble the almond blondies I am crazy about at Cookies & Scream. But this came out hard and dry - and with the amounts of coconut oil and rice syrup in here, not a cheap recipe to end up throwing in the bin! Still, my husband and I enjoyed a coffee while picking out all the pecans... Sorry Matti.
