These buttery make-ahead bars feature tender flaky shortbread topped with a thin layer of melted white chocolate and toasted coconut chips. It is quick and easy to make and great to bring to a party.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8x10-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on two opposing ends to use as handles. Whisk together einkorn flour, rolled oats, coconut blossom sugar, baking soda and salt. Add in butter pieces and mix until incorporated.
- Place the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake in the center of hot oven until nicely golden brown at the edges, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Melt the chopped white chocolate chips in a double boiler set over simmering water. When the crust is finished, remove it from the oven and let sit 5 minutes. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the crust, then sprinkle with the toasted coconut chips. Cool completely, then carefully lift from the pan and cut into squares.

Those are so beautiful, especially with the big coconut flakes. They're hard to find in that size, but they're great for garnish.
Lovely and healthy, these shortbreads !

First time I've heard of Einkorn - I'm going to have to google it to see what it is.
White chocolate & shortbread. Now there's a real treat.
Sam
Fantastic treat! It was fascinating to read about einkorn on line. I would love to purchase the flour and try this recipe. Very nice photos!
No idea what einkorn was had to look it up. Not sure I could find coconut blossom sugar where I live.
Oh man, any kind of shortbread is such a weakness of mine! These look fantastic with that toasted coconut!
Sounds so exotic! I am sure I will enjoy this very much as I love coconut chips!
I've never heard of coconut blossom sugar. I love the big toasted coconut strips on top of these bar cookies - so pretty!
oh yes!!! I would like a batch of these please :)
Angie, have you ever thought of selling your homemade healthy baked goods to your local friends and neighbors? I know I would be at your doorstep.

looks great and coconut blossom sugar is new to me
@Jeanette I got it from Amazon.
What a unique treat Angie, love it!
This looks stunning Angie! And coconut is one of my favourite flavours. Love that you are using healthier grains like Einkorn and oats. xx
I just love the coconut shavings Angie, we just get grated coconut here so I'd likely have to shave them myself. Yet another flour I must Google, you definitely have a diversified gluten free pantry!

Oh wow. I love coconut!
Such a delicious treat! I love the toasted coconut!
These look perfect!
Woahhh, these are some perked up oat bars! I can imagine the chewy sweet coconut chunks on top and the creamy satisfying oat layer below. Another fabulous idea Angie. ;)
Wow, they look so good and super tempting..
That looks delicious Angie!! Coconut in desserts cannot go wrong.
you always put together the most outstanding flavors and textures together. I love this!
Wow I love this! I really like shortbread and with coconut and white chocolate is amazing. Beautiful Angie.

These bars sound wonderful. Love the coconut and white chocolate:)
Irresistable bars Angie! I can never pass up anything with sweet shortbread, coconut, or chocolate! What a combination!

Angie what is coconut blossom sugar? I've never heard of it and it sounds incredible :)
Angie, these look and sound wonderful! Must make them soon to enjoy with my tea.
@Sue/the view from great islandIt's just like coconut sugar. I ordered it from amazon.
Yum, Angie! I love love love coconut chips! Anything with those on top are going on my list to make. These look divine!
Yum! Shortbread is my husband's favorite, and anything involving coconut is mine. I think I need to make us some of these!
Shortbread is my cookie hero - it can do anything! These cookies look awesome.
Perfect combination of flavors and textures and a delightful way to boost your energy.
What gorgeous shortbread! I love the combination of coconut and white chocolate :)
Very unique recipe and I love all ingredients!!!
I have never baked with that type of flour before. You are the queen of healthy flours. By the way where do you get your flour supplies? I love the combo of flavors here with the coconut and white chocolate. Yum!!
Great pics Angie..love the look of the toasted coconut ;)
@eatgood4life.blogspot.com I usually order grains directly from the farm, then I grind them myself.
Delicious bars Angie! Coconut is our favorite here!
These bars are good to snack on, Angie!
I can't find coconut blossom sugar! Will normal coconut sugar be okay?!
Great recipe by the way, with yet more beautiful pictures!
Fantastic to see another recipe with einkorn in, these sound so good.
@Emma | Fork and Good Sure, Emma.
These look delicious, Angie! I love the way the toasted sliced coconut seems to be wildly growing from the tops of the bars. I'd be very happy to snack on one of these :)
Beautiful presentation, first off! While Julie is the white chocolate fan, Alesah loves this, too! Those toasted coconuts hit the spot. Excellent job, Angie :)

I jumped at coconut and then there was white chocolate. That's a great combo right here. We would be a very happy household with these cookies. You have some of the most fantastic ideas.

You make healthful look so pretty, Angie. These pictures are gorgeous.Except for the fact that I have no idea what einkorn is, I think I would def make these.
I can never pass up white chocolate or toasted coconut. These look fabulous!
Coconut Blossom Sugar? Even your ingredients leave me inspired!
I can't never resist anything, Coconut!!
White chocolate is my favourite and I haven't had it in ages....man do these look good!!
Just gorgeous bars Angie, love anything shortbread but adding a thin layer of chocolate and coconut makes them spectacular. Bookmarked!

This definitely tasty good. Coconut works in anything. Wish I can have some too.

Oh my, these look wonderful Angie. Sweet treats given a heathy twist from you. Coconut sugar is a wonderful ingredient as is coconut nectar. I still don't know what Einkhorn is. I'd better go and look as I'm sure you answered me.
