Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into all corners using a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges start to crisp.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is crucial, as the bars will set as they cool.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Slice into 12 equal-sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
