Honey Coconut Bars

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 18x20 cm baking dish with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: grease the dish with butter or cooking spray for easier removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut flakes, baking soda, and salt.

   Tip: Use a whisk or a fork to mix the dry ingredients well.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary.

4. 4

   Add the honey and mix until well combined.

   Tip: You can adjust the amount of honey to your desired level of sweetness.

5. 5

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the melted coconut oil.

   Tip: Make sure the eggs are fully incorporated before adding the coconut oil.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can lead to tough bars.

7. 7

   Press the dough into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula or your hands to spread the dough evenly.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the bars during the last 5 minutes of baking, as they can go from perfectly cooked to overcooked quickly.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.

   Tip: Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into them.

10. 10

    Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

    Tip: This will help the bars hold their shape when cut.

11. 11

    Cut into bars and serve.

    Tip: You can store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
