Servings: 1

Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 3 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup light corn syrup (light in color - not lite; honey; or brown rice syrup or yacon syrup to keep vegan may be substituted)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted or in liquid state

about 2 1/2 cups quick-cook oats (use Certified Gluten Free Quick Cooking Oats if necessary)

pinch salt, optional and to taste

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for drizzling, optional

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment:

aluminum foil

microwave

spatula

bowl

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Line an 8x8-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine oil, corn syrup, sugars, and cook on high power for 90 seconds. Stop and stir the mixture. Return bowl to microwave and cook for 90 more seconds. Stop and stir the mixture. Stir in shredded coconut, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and optional salt. Note - when adding the shredded coconut and oats, add them slowly, bit by bit, rather than all at once. I found the measurements worked perfectly, but because coconut oil, coconut, and oats vary, add dry ingredients until mixture combines, noting it will be quite wet. It solidifies and firms up as it cools. Turn mixture out into prepared pan, packing it down with a spatula. Optionally, melt the chocolate in a small, microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute on high power, or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Even drizzle chocolate over bars. I followed the swirling pattern outlined here. Cover pan with foil to prevent frigde smells, and refrigerate until set and firm, about 2 hours. Slice bars into desired shapes. Especially in warmer months, I prefer to store the bars in the fridge rather than at room temperature so the coconut oil stays solid and bars are firmer. They will keep for up to up to 1 month in the fridge, or up to 6 months in the freezer.

Food Joke

1. Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an acceptable response to "I love you." 2. Hallmark would make "Sorry, what was your name again?" cards. 3. When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she would appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a half time. 4. Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the bum would pretty much do it. 5. Birth control would come in ale or lager. 6. The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO. 7. "Sorry I'm late, but I got hammered last night" would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness. 8. It'd be considered harmless fun to gather 30 friends, put on horned helmets, and go pillage a nearby town. 9. Lifeguards could remove citizens from beaches for violating the "public ugliness" ordinance. 10. Tanks would be far easier to rent. 11. Instead of a beer belly, you'd get "beer biceps." 12. Instead of an expensive engagement ring, you could present your wife-to-be with a giant foam hand that said, "You're #1!" 13. Valentine's Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only occur in leap years. 14. Cops would be broadcast live, and you could phone in advice to the pursuing cops. Or to the crooks. 15.

When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-alec answer you responded with would actually reduce your fine. As in: Cop: "You know how fast you were going?" You: "All I know is, I was spilling my beer all over the place." Cop: "Nice one. That's $10 off." 21. Daisy Duke shorts would never again go out of style. 22.
