Description

These No Bake Chocolate Coconut Bars are made with wholesome ingredients and are perfect when you need an energizing snack!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Almond Butter
  • 1/2 cup honey (sub maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1/3 cup refined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz 70% dark chocolate
  • 2 cups large flake oats* (see note)
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the almond butter, honey, coconut oil, cocoa powder and vanilla extract in a small pot on medium-low heat.
  2. Add the dark chocolate and continue to mix until the chocolate is melted.
  3. Mix the oats, shredded coconut and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix together until combined.
  5. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and spread the batter into the pan, gently pressing down evenly.
  6. Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours then cut into bars.
  7. Store in the fridge.

Notes

You can use large flake oats or quick oats for this recipe. If using large flake oats, you want to make sure that they are not too hard. (Some health-food brands of large flake oats or rolled oats can be thick and hard when uncooked.) Quaker oats work well in this recipe.

Unsweetened coconut works best. Shredded coconut comes in two forms: sweetened and unsweetened. The sweetened shredded coconut can technically be used but will create a very sweet “dessert-like” bar, rather than a healthier snack.

Use parchment paper to help you press the bars into the pan. Having trouble spreading the bars evenly into the pan? Grab a piece of parchment paper and use it to press down on the batter in the pan. This will prevent the batter from getting stuck to your fingers and will make it easier to spread out.
