Raspberry Coconut Bars

Ingredients:

Crust

• 1 1/4 Cup flour
• 1/2 Cup butter
• 1/4 cup white sugar

Filling

• 1 Cup raspberry jam

Topping

• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/4 Tsp baking powder
• 3 Tbsp flour
• 1 Tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 pan and set aside.
2. Mix the flour and sugar together, then cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until crust mixture resembles crumbs. Pat the crust evenly into bottom of the baking dish.
3. Bake the crust in the oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Spread the jam over the top of the crust evenly.
5. Mix the topping ingredients together until there are no lumps and spread evenly over the top. Return to the oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the filling is firm and set.
6. Remove and cool completely.
7. Cool, then slice and serve! These freeze exceptionally well.
