Verna's Coconut Bars

The original recipe was suppose to be cookies. After I stirred up the batter it was waaaay to moist-so they became bar cookies. Plus I found I just did not have enough time or the patience to go through all the steps I had to-to make cookies. They are very good if you like coconut. Plus so much easier to do this way...Isn't that how we get new recipes.
These are very moist and yummy.
Ingredients:
dry:

• 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons, whole wheat pasty flour-pastry flour is lighter than whole wheat.
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

wet:

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 extra ripe banana-a ripe banana has black spots on it-they are much sweeter this way.
• 1/2 cup turbinado brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3 Tablespoons warm water

Topping:

• 1/2 cup nuts
• 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 cup coconuts shreds
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• dash salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350degrees.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients and fold into dry ingredients. Do not over fold.
3. In a food processor combine all topping ingredients in a food processor. Blend into small pieces.
4. At this point I put the batter in a sprayed 8" by 8" glass pan.
5. Put topping over the batter, pat down.
6. Bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!!
