Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams desiccated coconut
- 120 grams raisins
- 50 grams rolled oats
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until fully combined and smooth. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract to the slightly cooled butter and sugar mixture until smooth and glossy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Step 5
Add the desiccated coconut, raisins, and rolled oats to the batter. Stir gently until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Step 9
Cut the cooled bars into 12 equal pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
