Creating these delightful Raspberry Coconut Bars is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps to enjoy this delicious treat:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Prepare Wet Mixture: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking them apart.
6. Spread Batter: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice: Once cooled, cut into squares or bars. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of elegance.
