PINEAPPLE COCONUT BARS – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you are a fan of pineapple and coconut together, these bars are a must-try!

 If you love these, you will also love this pineapple loaf cake! It has wonderful reviews and perfect for any gathering.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This recipe has only a few ingredients and comes together in about 30 minutes. These bars are also great for a small gathering. They are made in an 8X8 and are a great treat when you want a little something sweet. We love to top these with powdered sugar but you don’t have to if you are not a fan. They are delicious, the top forms a crust and the center is soft!

SWAPS

We received a comment below about using 2 cups of fresh pineapple and they came out great. So you can switch that out if you like. You can also use sweetened or unsweetened coconut.

⭐TIP

It’s important to really drain the pineapple, I like to put it in a strainer/colander and then use a fork to press out any liquid. The less liquid, the better they cook, so try your best to get as much liquid out as you can.
