Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.3333 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond flour, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Remove from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Optionally, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. For faster cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
