Get ready to indulge in these Chewy Coconut Bars that are buttery, chewy, and packed with coconut goodness. Coconut lovers, this might just become your new favorite treat!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once it starts to boil, swirl the pan continuously to prevent burning. Continue cooking until the butter turns a rich amber color, then remove it from the heat.
- Stir the brown sugar into the warm butter until fully combined. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy these delightful Coconut Chewy Bars as a sweet treat any time!
