Cooking Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, or 3-4 oz bar of chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil, to melt

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut flour and vanilla extract. You can also blend everything together in a blender or food processor.
  2. Press the mixture into a parchment lined 9 x 5 loaf pan. Place in the freezer for an hour, or until hardened.
  3. Once hardened, remove the bars from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice into 12 bars.
  4. Pour the chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl with the coconut oil. Melt in 30 second increments until smooth.
  5. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate then place onto a parchment lined tray or cutting board. Repeat until all bars are coated. Place the tray into the freezer to set for additional 20 minutes.
  6. Once hardened, you can slice around the bars with a knife to clean the excess melted chocolate. Keep refrigerated for 2-3 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
