Cocoa-Coconut Granola Bars image

Crisp, chewy, and chocolate-y granola bars straight from your own oven! Why buy mediocre-tasting packaged ones full of junk and unknown ingredients? These contain my two favorite ingredients, chocolate and coconut. This recipe is easy to customize and swap out for your favorite ingredients.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups rolled oats
½ cup flax seed meal
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ cup chia seeds
½ cup honey
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Combine honey, brown sugar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract, ground cinnamon, and salt together in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir cocoa powder into the honey mixture until dissolved.
  • Mix toasted oat mixture and the honey mixture in a large bowl and stir until the dry ingredients are coated; spread into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

These bars were a lot of work to make and they didn't turn out very good. I wouldn't recommend them.

I found these bars to be a bit bland. I think they could use some more flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These granola bars are a great way to use up leftover oats. They're also a healthier alternative to store-bought granola bars.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I still really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate flavor is strong enough to balance out the coconut, and the bars are really chewy and satisfying.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out great! They're a little crumbly, but that's to be expected with granola bars. The flavor is amazing and they're really filling.

These granola bars were a huge hit in my house! They're the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy, with a delicious chocolatey-coconut flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
