These Coconut Bars are really easy to make, and super tasty little bite sized treats. These are vegan, filled with healthy coconut, and Paleo-friendly.
I love them because of their flavor. They are definitely a coconut treat! They’re deceptive too; they taste like they’re filled with naughtiness, but in reality, they’re filled with nice!

Coconut Bars
If you love coconut, you'll love these snack bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan combine coconut, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Cook, stirring, over low heat, about 5 minutes, or until the shredded coconut has softened and absorbed some of the oil. Remove from heat, and add stir in the vanilla. Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Firmly pack the mixture down, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Cut into bars.
- If the coconut bars stick in the pan, place the pan in a shallow dish of hot water for a minute, and it will loosen, and come out.

Just made these bars, so excited for them to finish the chilling process. In mine, I found 1 cup oil is a bit too much, will adjust down to 2/3 cup for next batch. I plan to half-dip some in dark chocolate (made with coconut oil, cocoa powder & a smidge of sweetener).

Jeris, awesome! I love the chocolate dip part as well! It makes it like a Mounds Bar! Yum!

These are one of my favorite desserts now (second only to chocolate). I hope I always have these in my fridge. I was able to cut mine into 35 squares, which comes out to 90 calories per square.

Jess, awesome! Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know! I really appreciate it! 🙂 Have a wonderful week!

1 cup isn’t WAY too much for the amount of shredded coconut in this recipe. I made them and got a mouth full of oil. You may want to revise this recipe to 1/4cup of oil…
