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.
