Crack Coconut Bars
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 6 bars
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (160 grams) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) agave syrup or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. Line a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper. Cut a length of parchment paper long enough to line the bottom of the pan with extra hanging over the sides (it will be used to remove the batter from the pan once it's chilled).
  2. In a saucepan, pan or pot combine the coconut, coconut oil, agave (or maple) syrup, vanilla extract and salt. Cook, over low heat, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes, until the shredded coconut has softened and absorbed some of the oil.
  3. Remove from heat. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan.
  4. Firmly pack the mixture down and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  5. Using the parchment paper hanging, remove from the pan and cut into bars.
