Ingredients
1.25
cups
sweetened shredded coconut
divided
1.25
cups
all purpose flour
½
teaspoon
salt
½
cup
+ 2 tablespoons brown sugar
10
tablespoons
unsalted butter
cold, cut into cubes
1
cup
oats [I used Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats]
½
cup
peanut butter [I used Peanut Butter & Co Cinnamon Raisin Swirl]
melted chocolate, to drizzle on top (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Place 1 cup of shredded coconut on a baking mat.
Toast the coconut, stirring often till it turns light golden brown in color. This will take around 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix together flour, salt and brown sugar.
Cut cold butter into cubes and add to the flour.
Mix the butter into the flour till it resembles coarse crumbs. You can do this using a party cutter or a fork. Then add toasted coconut and mix.
Also add rolled oats and mix to form a dough.
Reserve 3/4 cup of dough and spread the remaining in a 8 x 8 inch square pan lined with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly in the pan.
Pour 1/2 cup of Cinnamon Swirl Peanut Butter over the dough. I microwave the peanut butter for 30-40 seconds, so that it's easier to spread.
Now sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of dough all over the pan. And finally also sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded coconut (un-toasted).
Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Drizzle melted chocolate on top (optional) and enjoy these peanut butter oatmeal bars with a glass of milk!
