Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (110g) butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (90g) oats, 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (72g) dried coconut meat, and 1 tsp (5g) baking soda. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup (120g) brown sugar and 1/2 cup (120g) maple syrup until the sugar is somewhat dissolved. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a uniform batter.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even surface.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the oat bars to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. This allows them to firm up and makes them easier to cut.
Once cooled, cut the oat bars into squares or rectangles as desired. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure to melt the butter completely before mixing it with the other ingredients for an even consistency.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider toasting the oats and coconut meat lightly before adding them to the mixture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the baking dish to ensure that your oat bars hold together well once baked.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them to prevent them from crumbling.
- Feel free to customize your oat bars by adding your favorite nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture.
Your homemade oat bars are now ready to enjoy! These tasty and healthy snacks can be stored in an airtight container for several days, making them a convenient go-to treat. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast option, a midday snack, or a sweet treat, these oat bars are sure to hit the spot.
