Ingredients
Scale
- 125g (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup caster/superfine white sugar (or regular granulated sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups plain/all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats
- 3/4 cup desiccated or finely shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt/kosher salt (or 1/8 tsp table salt)
- 2 1/2 cups (400g) mango slices (from 2 large mangoes), sliced 5mm/0.2″ thick
- 1 1/2 tsp cornflour/cornstarch
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- 3/4 cup soft icing sugar/powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 3 tsp lime juice (plus more as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9-inch square baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
- Stir in flour, oats, coconut, baking powder, and salt until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press half of the dough into the prepared baking dish to form the base. Set the remaining dough aside.
- In a saucepan, combine mango slices, cornstarch, and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until softened and thickened. Let cool slightly.
- Spread the mango filling over the base in the dish. Crumble the reserved dough on top as a topping.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and filling is set. Let cool completely in the dish.
- In a small bowl, mix icing sugar, lime zest, and lime juice to make the glaze. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Drizzle glaze over cooled bars, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- You can use frozen mango slices — thaw and drain them first.
- The lime glaze is optional but adds a lovely tangy contrast to the sweet mango and coconut base.
- Bars keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen.
