  • Pour this filling mixture over the crust. Evenly sprinkle an additional one cup of shredded coconut on top. Bake at the reduced temperature, for 25 to 30 minutes. Until you notice a golden brown color developing on top.
  • Enjoy your treat! Allow the bars to cool down entirely within the pan on a wire rack. Once they have cooled, utilize the edges of the parchment paper to lift the concoction out of the pan. Proceed to cut it into squares and relish in its deliciousness!

Notes

To make these Buttery Coconut Bars a gluten-free treat you can supersede the all-purpose flour, in both the crust and filling with your selected gluten-free flour blend. A baking blend that corresponds to the texture and consistency of flour in a 1:1 ratio works pleasingly. Just remember to scan that all your ingredients the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract are permitted gluten-free to guarantee that the whole dish is secure for those with gluten sensitivities. By assembling this changeover not only will you make these bars accessible, to everyone.
