Coconut Date Squares
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped dates
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup flaked coconut
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the ideal temperature for this recipe, which is 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking vessel by lightly coating it with butter and dusting it evenly with flour, ensuring a smooth release of the final product.
3
In a spacious mixing container, merge together flour, 1 cup of shredded coconut, chopped dates, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
4
In a separate cooking vessel, gently heat the butter until it's melted, then combine it with golden syrup and vanilla extract.
5
Pour the warm mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing container, stirring until a crumbly consistency is achieved.
6
Gently press the mixture into the prepared baking pan, making sure to fill it evenly.
7
Then, place the prepared baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of 1/8 cup shredded coconut over the top of the finished product.
