Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars. (60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, toast the shredded coconut lightly before adding it to the batter.
If you don't have rum extract, a teaspoon of dark rum adds a lovely depth of flavor. You could also use a splash of pineapple juice for extra tang.
Be sure to measure your flour accurately by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off. This prevents the bars from becoming dry.
Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
