How to Make Apricot Coconut And Almond Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the melted coconut oil and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped apricots, shredded coconut, and almonds.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the apricot, coconut, and almond mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
