Coconut Lime Squares are easy dessert bars with a tropical flair!
Servings: 12
Equipment
- 8x8 baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp dark rum, or 1 tsp rum extract
- 1 tsp coconut extract, optional
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
glaze
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
- juice of up to 2 limes
- zest of 2 limes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease your 8x8 pan. I like to line it with parchment paper so I can easily lift it out for slicing, but this is optional.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter, sugar and molasses together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the rum and/or extracts.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. Fold in the coconut.
- Spread into your prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then lift the blondies out of the pan with the parchment paper and finish cooling on a rack. Glaze when completely cool.
to make the glaze
- Blend the sugar with enough lime juice to make a spreadable glaze. Mix in the zest or sprinkle it on top.
