Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large 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:
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a golden amber color, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly before mixing in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Add Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
