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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into all corners using a spatula or your hands.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges start to crisp.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Step 9
Slice into 12 equal-sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
