Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 whole large egg
- 180 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 80 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in the vanilla extract and egg until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve.
