ELSIE'S PINEAPPLE OATMEAL BARS



Elsie's Pineapple Oatmeal Bars image

A sweet lady at the church I attended growing up used to make these for potlucks and church dinners. She once gave me the recipe on a card, which I've long since misplaced, but I had copied the recipe into another cookbook and have made it many times. Every time I take these bars somewhere, people ask for the recipe. They're also great made with zucchini pineapple (the recipe is also posted here on the zaar, by another chef). I like to cut the sugar down by at least 1/4 cup, because the pineapple is sweet enough, and I've always made these with real butter. Quick oats or old-fashioned will work, but the old-fashioned does make it a little more challenging to press the crust into the pan. I intend to try a mixture of the two at some point, but haven't ever done it. These would be great for a bake sale, potluck, or gifts. The crust does tend to be a little soft, so I'd be sure to package with something firm underneath, rather than just wrapping in plastic. I've seen other recipes that add nuts, coconut, etc. I'm sure that would be great as well, but this is just the basic, buttery, oatmeal and brown sugar crust and topping. Yum!

PINEAPPLE MACAROON BARS



Pineapple Macaroon Bars image

I was looking for pina colada bars without rum, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted: a bar cookie that had 3 layers: cookie, pineapple, and coconut. So I found two recipes and combined them to make what I wanted. (They are Cherry Pineapple Bars and Cherry Macaroon Bars.) I omitted the cherries (marashino - yuck!), and already reduced the sugar to half, since most recipes have too much sugar. It was just right. You may want to adjust to your taste.

Provided by Triplit Mom

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h10m

Yield 24 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups flour
1 cup packed brown sugar (not reduced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (8 3/4 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
10 ounces sweetened flaked coconut (I grated mine fresh, so it wasn't sweetened)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir together flour, brown sugar and salt; then cut in the butter - either with two knives or a pastry cutter. (Don't let the butter get too warm.).
  • Once the flour/butter mixture gets crumbly, pour it into a 9" x 13" pan and press it inches.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then remove pan from oven and let it cool some.
  • In the mean time, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch in a pot.
  • Add pineapple and egg yolks and stir.
  • Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture gets thick and boils slightly.
  • Remove from heat and spread on top of the baked crust.
  • If you're a multi-tasker, you may be able to work on the coconut mixture in between stirs of the pineapple sauce. Otherwise, do it after.
  • In a medium bowl, combine coconut, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt.
  • Add the egg whites, egg and vanilla extract. (You could substitute almond extract).
  • Drop dallops of the coconut mixture and spread evenly over the pineapple mixture.
  • Return pan to the oven and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned on top of coconut.
  • Cool in pan, then cut into bars. (I couldn't wait, and ended up burning my mouth on the pineapple mixture.).
  • Store in a covered container.
