This healthy coconut bars recipe is incredibly delicious and made with 5 ingredients. The no-bake bars take less than 10 minutes to prepare and are naturally sweet from the coconut, nuts, and dates with a chewy texture.
Place all the ingredients into food processor or high powered blender.
Blend until solid and slightly sticky. It will become a large lump with most of it stuck together.
Remove lump and press any loose pieces into it and place on a sheet of wax paper.
Place another piece of wax paper on top of the lump and do your best to flatten and form into a square or rectangle.
Place in a fridge for a few hours to make it easier to cut.
Cut into squares or rectangles and store in fridge in between sheets of wax or parchment paper, or you can wrap each one individually in wax paper for putting in lunches or for on the go. You can use a cute sticker to seal them for kids lunches!
Recipe Notes
Flatten the barsPlace something heavy on top of the mixture to keep it firm. I use a packed milk carton because it perfectly fits my dish and is heavy enough to flatten the mixture. You can use anything in your cupboards that's heavy enough to put some weight on top.Resting periodIt's essential to let the bars chill entirely to firm up before cutting and eating them. A minimum of 2 hours is necessary and refrigerated overnight for best results.
