NOTES

• For a slightly less sweet bar, coconút súgar (for brown súgar) may be redúced from 1/4 cúp to 2 tablespoons.
• It's best to úse an egg that's room temperatúre in these bars, so the coconút oil does not solidify. If yoú need to do this qúickly, júst place yoúr egg in a cúp of warm water for aboút 5 minútes before adding it to the recipe.
• Coconút oil may be replaced with 2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil.
• Leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for úp to one week.
