Equipment

1 8x12" glass baking dish
1 large mixing bowl
1 wooden spoon
1 electric mixer
measuring cups
measuring spoons
1 spatula

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1 1/2 cups coconut sugar (I only used one cup because that's all I had left)
2 large eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups gluten free flour such as Cup4Cup or Better Batter
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups coconut divided use
4 oz. macadamia nuts coarsely chopped, divided use

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and salt; mix well with an electric mixer.
Add flour, 1 cup coconut and ½ cup macadamia nuts.
Spread into greased 8x12” glass baking dish.
Sprinkle with remaining coconut and chopped macadamia nuts.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and cut into squares.

Notes

NOTE: I recommend a true gluten free flour blend rather than a gluten free pancake mix. My preference is Cup4Cup, but I have used several other kinds like King Arthur's, Pillsbury, Crusteaz and even the Great Value brand from Walmart that work really well for gluten free recipes.
