Knock You Naked Bars

Print Recipe

Sweet, chewy bars made with oats, chocolate, and coconut that are quick to prepare and perfect for snacks or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups quick oats (or old-fashioned oats)
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir until combined. Fold in the oats. The dough will be thick.
  5. Press about half of the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and shredded coconut evenly over the dough. Add nuts if using.
  7. Crumble the remaining dough over the chocolate and coconut to form a light top layer. Press gently.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. The center should be set.
  9. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Notes

Let bars cool fully before cutting to avoid crumbling. These bars store well and can be frozen for longer shelf-life.
