Chocolate Coconut Granola Bars

Chocolate Coconut Granola Bars


  • Author: Lee Hersh

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes + 1 tablespoon for garnishing
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup roasted almonds, chopped
  • 1/3 cup brown rice syrup
  • pinch of sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with coconut nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Then, in a medium size bowl, mix together oats, coconut flakes, and cocoa powder. Then, add rest of ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. It may be easier to use your hands for this part.
  3. Once things are throughly mixed together, everything should be pretty sticky. To form bars, wet hands and scoop a palm sized amount of dough. Then shape into a bar, compressing the dough between your hands. Place on the baking sheet and repeat.
  4. You should be able to make 9-10 bars. For garnish, add more coconut flakes (press into bars) and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes, just enough to turn the coconut flakes golden brown.
