Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Almond milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut flour.
Add the maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix until well combined to form a moist and crumbly texture.
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the coconut mixture into the dish and press it down firmly and evenly.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and almond milk.
Microwave the chocolate mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir, then continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed coconut mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove the coconut bars from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 12 equal bars.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
