Steps To Make Buttery Coconut Bars:

Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grab a baking dish that measures 13×9 inches and line it with parchment paper making sure the paper extends over the sides for removal later.

Step 2: To make the crust take a bowl. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add in the butter. Stir until everything is well combined and crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of your pan.

Step 3: Pop the crust into the oven for around 12 to 15 minutes. Until it turns a light brown. Once done let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Don’t forget to lower your temperature to 325°F (160°C).

Step 4: In another bowl mix together the eggs sweetened condensed milk, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and salt, for the filling. Stir until you achieve a consistency and then gently fold in the coconut. Pour this mixture over the crust. Evenly sprinkle an additional cup of shredded coconut on top.

Step 5: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Until you see that golden brown color, on top. Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before lifting them out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut them into bars. Serve.

Tip:

For a layer of taste and texture you can lightly toast the coconut that goes on top of the bars. Simply spread the coconut on a baking sheet. Pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for around 3 to 5 minutes until it turns golden and presents a scent. Keep a watch, on it as coconut can go from perfectly toasted to burnt fast. This simple step will enhance the flavor of the coconut giving your bars a crunch and a beautiful golden appearance. It’s these components that construct your Buttery Coconut Bars not only scrumptious but also truly exceptional.
