- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, butter, 1/2 cup of flour and oats until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a 20cm square pan. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
- In the same bowl, mix together the eggs, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, salt, baking powder and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the raisins, coconut and cherries, adding a little bit of the cherry juice to keep it from becoming stiff. Spread over the baked crust in the pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and lightly browned. Cool and cut into bars.

I didn't have the cherries and I only had a little butter so I used coconut oil for the remaining 1/2 cup...and it was still great! Nice flavor and texture. I will definitely be making these again. - 14 Jul 2014 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
