Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup oat flour
  • 3 tablespoon coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 4 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 11 oz sweetened condensed coconut milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until a sticky dough forms. You should be able to pick up clumps with your fingers.
    1 ½ cup oat flour, 3 tablespoon coconut oil, 4 tablespoon pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Press the oat mixture into an 8 X 8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Pack it in tight using the bottom of a measuring cup or the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over top followed by the dark chocolate chips.

  • Next add the chopped pecans and then the shredded coconut. Finally pour the sweetened condensed coconut milk over top, making sure it's evenly dispersed.
    1 cup chopped pecans, 1 cup shredded coconut, 11 oz sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • Bake in the oven for 25 - 28 minutes until the coconut on top turns a golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the sides. Let the pan cool to room temperature when done.
  • Place the pan in the fridge to set (at least an hour). Once set, use a sharp knife to slice into 16 square bars and enjoy! Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
