BREAKFAST BARS WITH OATS AND COCONUT



Breakfast Bars With Oats and Coconut image

A little like granola bars with their combination of oats, seeds, almond butter and dried cherries, these cookies - adapted from the chefs Michelle Palazzo and Peter Edris of Frenchette Bakery - have a soft and chewy texture rather than a crunchy snap. Perfect for a breakfast on the run or an afternoon nibble, they are lightly sweet and decidedly filling. At the bakery, the dough is baked into large, individual cookies, but, in this slightly simpler version, the dough is pressed into a 9-inch pan and baked into bars. (To make cookies, see the note below.)

Time 7h

Yield 18 bars

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup/180 milliliters smooth almond butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/73 grams light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1 large egg, beaten, at room temperature
1 egg white, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups/146 grams rolled oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup/28 grams unsweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup/37 grams dried cherries (or another soft, plump dried fruit)
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons shelled sunflower seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons flax seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer and a large bowl, cream almond butter, granulated and brown sugars, and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add egg, egg white, salt and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated, occasionally scraping the side and bottom of bowl, about 1 minute longer.
  • Put oats in a small bowl, sift the baking soda over them, and beat into almond butter mixture. With the mixer on low speed, stir in coconut flakes, cherries and seeds until thoroughly mixed. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the dough (still in the bowl) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 2 days. (This allows the oats to hydrate.)
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a metal 9-inch square baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches to hang over 2 sides of the pan and use as handles later. Grease the parchment paper as well.
  • Scrape dough into the prepared baking pan. Lightly grease a large spatula and firmly press the mixture into the pan in an even layer. Bake until the surface is light golden brown and firm, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack and allow bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use a butter knife or small offset spatula to cut along the inside edges of the pan and release the bars. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift bars out of the pan and place them on a cutting board. Cut into 18 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

  • Transfer coconut-oat mixture to baking dish and pack evenly across bottom of dish, tamping and smoothing with the bottom of a dry measuring cup (the more compact it is, the better it will hold together when baked).Pulse dates, lime zest, and lime juice in food processor, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth. Spread date purée evenly over coconut-oat mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edges.Chop remaining 1/4 cup almonds and mix in a small bowl with unsweetened coconut flakes, unsweetened shredded coconut, and remaining 2 tsp. agave. Scatter evenly over date purée and press in lightly with your hands. Bake until top and bottom are browned and edges are very firm, 40-45 minutes. Let cool before cutting into eight rectangles.

Categories     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (very cold and cut into 1 inch pieces)
1 egg ( lightly beaten)
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Taylor & Colledge coconut paste
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup Flahavans rolled oats (reserve 1/4 cup for sprinkling on top)
3/4 cup butter ( cold and cut into 1 inch pieces)

  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together until combined. Toss in cold butter pieces and combine using pastry cutter, fork, or hands. I like using my hands best to create a crumbly combined texture.
  • Add lightly beaten egg and combine with a fork. Dough will be reminiscent of clumpy wet sand. Pour into greased glass pan and firmly press the dough until even thickness and totally smooshed down. Dough will be fairly thick.
  • Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes until cookie layer is a little brown but not fully cooked.
  • Combine coconut paste, unsweetened coconut, and brown sugar until combined. Layer mixture on top of cooked cookie bar.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and 1/2 cup oats until combined. Using same method as cookie bar layer, cut cold butter into oatmeal crumb topping until crumbly.
  • Add crumb topping + another 1/4 cup of coconut and 1/4 cup of oatmeal on top of coconut filling and place back in the oven for 45-50 minutes until brown and smells delicious.
