2. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg slightly using an electric mixer until frothy.

3. Sweeten It Up: Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract to the beaten egg, and mix well until thoroughly combined.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

5. Add Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Prep the Pan: Grease an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan, ensuring all sides are well coated. Alternatively, line the pan with greased foil for easier removal of the bars later.

7. Spread the Batter: Transfer the thick batter into the prepared pan, using wet hands to spread it evenly. The batter doesn’t need to be pressed completely flat, but ensure it covers the pan evenly.

8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Nutty Bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
