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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then mix in the vanilla extract and egg until smooth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 8
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve.
