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.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened coconut to control the sweetness of the cookies.
  • Toast the coconut before using to enhance its flavor and aroma.
  • Press the cookie dough firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling when baked.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.

Conclusion:

Ollie Beans' Coconut Bar Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy coconut filling and rich chocolate frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
