Serves: 9 large bars
Ingredients
  • 1½cups all purpose flour
  • ¼tsp kosher salt
  • ¼tsp backing powder
  • ½cup room temp coconut oil
  • ¼cup granulated sugar
  • ½cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1cup flaked sweetened or unsweetened coconut (plus 2tbsp divided)
  • 1cup lemon curd
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven 350ºF and line an 8X8 baking dish with parchment paper. Place the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowling and whisk together. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl of a stand mixer, beat the coconut oil and sugars on high until nice and fluffy. About 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well on medium speed. On low speed, add the flour, very slowly, just until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the ½cup coconut by hand, gently.
  3. Take half the dough and press it evenly into the prepared dish. Top evenly with the lemon curd. Take the remaining crumble dough and place it evenly all over the top. Top with remaining coconut. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden. Allow to cool completely until cutting. I like to keep mine in the fridge. So good cold!
