The foundation of the Great Harvest Savannah Bar recipe is its crumbly base layer. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add in the softened butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a dough-like consistency.

The nutty filling is what gives these bars their unique texture and taste. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 cup of brown sugar until the mixture becomes smooth. Add the remaining ½ cup of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gently fold in the chopped mixed nuts and sweetened shredded coconut.

Press the crumbly base layer evenly into a greased baking pan. Pour the nutty filling mixture over the base, ensuring an even distribution. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown.

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. This step is essential to ensure that the bars are set properly and are easy to cut into neat squares.

Once the bars have cooled, carefully cut them into squares of your desired size. Dust the tops with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance and an extra hint of sweetness.
