Coconut mango bars with lime glaze
Recipe video above. I adore the combination of mangoes, coconut and lime is a no-fail combination, and here it is in handheld bar form. The contrast of the crispy base and crumbly coconutty topping sandwiching the juicy mango layer is so good! I also like the texture the oats add, that it's ...

Ingredients
- 125 g / 1 stick unsalted butter ((Note 1 US conversion note))
- 1/2 cup caster/superfine white sugar ((regular/granulated also ok))
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups flour (, plain / all-purpose)
- 1 cup oats ((Note 2))
- 3/4 cup desiccated or finely shredded coconut (, unsweetened (not flakes, too big))
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt ((or 1/8 tsp table salt))
- 2 1/2 cups (400 g) mango slices (, 5mm/0.2" thin, 2 large-ish mangoes (Note 3))
- 1 1/2 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
- 2 tbsp white sugar ((don't skip this even if mangoes are sweet, Note 4))
- 3/4 cup soft icing sugar / powdered sugar ((Note 5))
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 3 tsp lime juice (, plus more as needed (1/4 tsp at a time))
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
-
Melt butter, mix in sugar, then egg, then everything else. Press 1 3/4 cups into 20cm/8" lined pan. Toss mango filling ingredients, spread on base, crumble over remaining mixture. Bake 30 min. Cool, drizzle with glaze.
-
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Grease then line a 20cm/8" panwith baking paper (parchment), ensuring you have overhang so you can lift it out at the end.
-
Melt butter - Cut the butter into ~1.25cm/1/2" chunks and melt in a microwave-proof bowl, or use a saucepan and stove. (Note 6)
-
Mix - Add the sugar to the butter and mix with a wooden spoon. Add egg and mix until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and mix until you no longer see flour.
-
Base - Measure out 1 3/4 cups (packed) of the mixture (the rest gets used for the topping). Spread into the pan and use your hands to evenly press it into the base.
-
Mango filling (do this just before use) - Put the mango in a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar and cornflour. Use your hands to gently toss until evenly coated.
-
Assemble - Spread the mango evenly across the base. Crumble the remaining mixture across the surface, leaving spots of mango exposed.
-
Bake for 30 minutes until the surface is light golden.
-
Cool - Remove from the oven and fully cool in the pan (~ 2 hours) before lifting out using the excess paper onto a cutting board. (Speed things up: 30 min counter, 30 minute fridge).
-
Lime glaze - Mix the ingredients in a medium bowl, using extra lime juice 1/4 tsp at a time if needed until it's a honey consistency. Drizzle randomly across the surface. Leave for 10 minutes to let the glaze surface crust.
-
Serve - Cut into 12 squares (sensible) or 9 (greedy). Devour!
