Coconut Butter Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together all crust ingredients until they form a dough. Transfer dough to the prepared baking dish and use your hands or a spatula to press into an even layer.

Step 3

Bake crust for 13-15 minutes or until golden.

Step 4

As crust bakes, mix together the filling. In a large bowl, add all filling ingredients except for 1 cup of coconut. Pour filling over the baked crust, spread into an even layer. Top with remaining 1 cup of coconut.

Step 5

Bake for an additional 25-28 minutes or until set in the middle and coconut starts to brown.

Step 6

Allow bars to cool before slicing.
