How to make Coconut Bars 

Step 1: Heat a medium sized pot on medium-low heat over the stove top. Melt together nut butter, honey, and coconut oil, stirring until smooth in the pot. 

Step 2: Remove from the stove and stir in the oats and coconut. Pour the oats into a 9- by 13-inch lined baking dish.  Evenly spread the oat mix throughout the pan using a spatula or offset knife. 

Step 3: Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and firmly press down with the back of a spatula or clean hands. 

Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. Slice into squares or bars. 

Recipe Tip: Store granola bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container with wax paper separating the layers, or individually wrapped in plastic wrap

Serving size: 1 bar. (Cut into 15 equal bars)

What other ingredients can I add to granola bars?

Adding nuts like almonds or pecans can provide protein and healthy fats, while dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins can add a sweet and chewy texture.

Chocolate chips can add a touch of decadence, while chia seeds can provide a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.

How to store homemade granola bars?

Homemade granola bars are a delicious and healthy snack option, but storing them can be a bit tricky to keep them fresh and crisp.

Firstly, allow the granola bars to cool completely before storing them. If they are still warm, they could become soggy due to the moisture trapped in the container.

Next, store the granola bars in an airtight container. This will prevent moisture from getting in and making the bars soft and chewy. You can use a plastic container or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Keep them in the fridge. If they are set out at room temperature they might get hard to handle.
