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

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
