Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the salt and all-purpose flour gently, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in the shredded coconut carefully to evenly distribute it throughout the mixture.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool & Slice: Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Once cooled, lift out the parchment paper and cut the bars into squares.
  6. Serve & Enjoy: Serve your chewy coconut bars as a sweet snack or dessert and enjoy their delightful texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the flour to keep the bars tender and chewy.
  • Use fresh shredded coconut for the best texture, or unsweetened desiccated coconut if preferred.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of coconut extract or a handful of chopped nuts.
