Equipment

8x8 baking pan
Mixing Bowl
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut flour (see note)
1/3 cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut (see note)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish with butter and line with parchment paper (this will makes it easy to pull the bars out in one piece when they finish baking).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, and almond extract all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined.
Spread the batter out in the prepared pan until even. Bake until it just begins to set, 8 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Top with pecans and coconut. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk in even stripes across the coconut.
Return the bars to the oven and bake just until the coconut is golden brown, 13-15 minutes.
Let the bars cool completely before slicing.

Notes

The bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
