Oaty coconut choc chip squares

If you're in the mood for a delicious sweet treat that's easy to make, you'll love these Oaty Coconut Choc Chip Squares. This recipe combines the wholesome goodness of oats with the sweetness of milk chocolate and dried coconut meat, making it perfect for an afternoon snack or as a dessert to share with friends and family. Best of all, it requires just a handful of ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

1 cup oats
90g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1/2 cup milk chocolate
120g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the squares later.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, dried coconut meat, and baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat the egg into the butter mixture until fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix it in well.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the squares tough.
6. Add the Chocolate: Fold the chopped milk chocolate into the mixture, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Transfer to Baking Pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool and Cut: Allow the slab to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab out of the pan.
10. Serve: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your oaty coconut choc chip squares with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!

Tips:

- For a healthier alternative, you can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or a sugar-free sweetener.

- Lightly toast the dried coconut meat before adding it to the mixture to enhance its flavor.

- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother batter.

- Ensure your egg is at room temperature as well, as this helps with better incorporation into the mixture.

- If you prefer a less sweet treat, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.

- You can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors.

With their delightful combination of oats, coconut, and chocolate, these Oaty Coconut Choc Chip Squares are sure to become a hit in your household. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a dessert, they are bound to satisfy your sweet tooth and leave you wanting more. Plus, they are simple enough to make in just a few steps, ensuring that you can whip them up whenever the craving strikes. Happy baking!
