  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 8 Tbl. butter, room temperature, unsalted
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 Tbl. milk
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut, somewhat toasted
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

Instructions

Add salt, butter, sugar, and vanilla to oat mixture and stir to combine. Stir in eggs and coconut. Add flour, baking soda, and cinnamon to bowl, then stir until completely combined.
