I am a huge fan of coconut! I had a friend give me this recipe from Splenda's website with flour and all. So, I played with it and changed it until I think I've perfected it. These got me through Christmas (along with chocolate pecan truffles). I do not know the carb count, but I lose weight when I have these bars.

Crust
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup Whey Low Gold
2 Cups Almond Flour

Top
2 eggs
1 TBSP Canola oil
1/4 cup Whey Low Gold
1/4 cup Splenda
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the crust by hand and press into a 9 x 13 pan (this takes a bit of patience to stretch it out) I used a metal pan. Bake the crust 10 minutes.

Blend the eggs, oil, Whey Low Gold, Splenda, vanilla and baking powder. Stir in the coconut and pecans. Spread over the baked crust. Return to the oven for 20 minutes.

I had tried using some coconut flour in the topping, and accidently omitted one time and found I liked how crunchy the bars were. As they cool they get crunchier.

Whey Low Gold is a substitute for brown sugar. I had issues using the "brown sugar blend." I had to order the stuff online, and love using it. I tend to use Whey Low mixed with the Splenda in a lot of things, and get no aftertaste.

Enjoy!
