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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, almond flour, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Optionally, fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
