Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once it begins to boil, swirl the pan to prevent burning. Cook until the butter turns amber in color, then remove from heat.
  • Add the brown sugar to the hot butter and stir until fully combined.
  • Stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick batter forms.
  • Fold in the shredded coconut and transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, covering loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning. Let cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

These bars store beautifully at room temperature for up to 4 days in an airtight container. For a fun twist, mix in a handful of mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans.
