Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Dish

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut Finely shredded for best texture
  • 1/4 cup Agave or pure maple syrup Can substitute with water and stevia to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Virgin coconut oil Melted if too firm
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips Optional for topping

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut with the agave (or maple syrup) and the coconut oil. If you’re using water and stevia instead of syrup, add the water and sweeten to your preference.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Stir thoroughly, making sure every bit of coconut gets evenly coated and the mixture is cohesive.
  • If you want to add mini chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage. For extra decadence, hold some chips for sprinkling over the top!
  • Line a small baking dish (about 5×7 inches) or a similar container with parchment paper. Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom, creating a compact, level layer.
  • Refrigerate the dish for at least 30 minutes, or until the bars are solid and hold their shape when cut.
  • Once chilled, lift the bars out using the edges of the parchment. Cut into even squares or bars, and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
