BREAKFAST BARS WITH OATS AND COCONUT
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.)

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.

Tips:
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut: This will help keep the bars from becoming too sweet. If you only have sweetened shredded coconut, you can reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup in the recipe.
- Measure the flaxseed meal correctly: Flaxseed meal can be compacted, so it's important to measure it correctly. The best way to do this is to spoon the flaxseed meal into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Don't overbake the bars: The bars should be cooked until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
These coconut flax bars are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and nutritious bar that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
