What is Coconut Palm Sugar? Coconut palm sugar is a natural sugar that comes from coconut palm sap. While it still is sugar, it is less refined/processed than white sugar. It also has a lower glycemic index.

A few recipe notes:

• If you don’t have any coconut palm sugar on hand, you can use regular brown sugar instead.
• Your glaze will seem really drippy at first, but, it will firm up as it cools.
• Topping these with your favorite chopped nuts is a great option. Just be sure to add them before the glaze sets.
• Want to add a bit more cinnamon flavor to your bars! Stir a handful of cinnamon baking chips into your batter before spreading it into the pan.
