Instructions
Preheat the oven: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Prepare the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Mix the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
Bake the bars: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into squares or bars.
Serving Tips:
Serve as a snack, dessert, or alongside tea or coffee.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Variations:
Add chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds) for a crunchy twist.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for a decadent touch.
Use unsweetened coconut for a less sweet version.
