Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture begins to clump together.
- Press approximately two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even base layer.
- Warm the Biscoff spread slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable. Drizzle and spread the Biscoff spread evenly over the oat base layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the Biscoff spread, creating a crumbly top layer. Gently press down to create a loose, textured surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is lightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour. This allows the bars to set and makes cutting easier.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 12 even bars using a sharp knife.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and consistency.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the coconut and oats before mixing for a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Make sure to press the base layer firmly to create a compact foundation for your bars.
- When warming Biscoff spread, do it in short intervals to prevent overheating.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat slices.
- For a more decadent version, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled bars.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
