I love coconut. I made a coconut cake recently that I will share anon but first these coconut and almond bars - they are lovely and sweet and chewy and full of good things. I overbaked mine so they turned out a little too golden-brown, so I have reduced the cooking time here. They were still delicious though!
INGREDIENTS:
75g
ground almonds
75g
porridge oats
50g
muesli
150g
dessicated coconut
75g
brown sugar
half
teaspoon salt
185ml
soya milk
1
teaspoon almond essence
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180C
- Grease a baking tray
- Combine the almonds, oats, coconut, muesli, salt and sugar in a large bowl
- Combine the soya milk and almond essence and add to the dry ingredients
- Mix thoroughly, and firmly press (with your hands) onto a greased baking tray
- Cook at 180C for 25 mins, then raise temp to 230C for another 5 mins, or until golden-brown
- Mark into 20 squares while still warm (I used a fish-slice)
- Cool and eat!

Nuala, I just LOVE coconut too (I use gallons of coconut oil too, one of my minor obsessions etc etc!!) Is the almond essence necessary, or could you do without? I'm hoping o make these tomorrow... yum yum yum
Hi Ems, no the almond essence is not necessary. It can be a bit overwhelming as a flavour and did dominate these a little. G'luck! Post the results? N x
