Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 80 grams old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 75 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
- 100 grams dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut and dried cranberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Once cooled, slice into 12 bars (or your desired size) and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
