Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams brown sugar (packed)
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 130 grams all-purpose flour
• 80 grams old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 75 grams shredded unsweetened coconut
• 100 grams dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut and dried cranberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 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 allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

Step 9

Once cooled, slice into 12 bars (or your desired size) and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
