Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or semisweet)
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Line a 9-inch square metal baking pan with a 12- to 14-inch-long sheet of foil, letting excess hang over sides, and butter foil in pan.
Step 3
Toss together oats, flour, brown sugar, chips, coconut, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat together butter, egg, and vanilla with a fork in another bowl, then stir into oat mixture until incorporated. Spoon batter into baking pan, patting evenly.
