Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Mix the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  5. Bake the bars: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares or bars.

Serving Tips:

  • Serve as a snack, dessert, or alongside tea or coffee.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Variations:

  • Add chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds) for a crunchy twist.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for a decadent touch.
  • Use unsweetened coconut for a less sweet version.

Savor these chewy coconut bars and enjoy their delightful blend of flavors!
