No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Matcha Bars
These bars are super soft, so they're the perfect hybrid of an energy bar and a brownie. They can be eaten as a snack, with breakfast, or as a dessert.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup nut butter
- 1 cup lite coconut milk

- 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
Instructions
- 1. In a food processor (I use my vitamix), blend the oats and cashews to get as fine of a consistency as you can.
- 2. Place the mixture into a large bowl.
- 3. Melt the nut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds and combine it into the mixture.
- 4. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- 5. Line a rectangular container/pan (you want it to have some depth so that the bars aren't super thin) with parchment paper.
- 6. Add the mixture into the container. Flatten it out as much as you can.
- 7. Sprinkle whatever toppings you like - I added some more shredded coconut and matcha to mine, but you can add a drizzle of peanut butter, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
- 8. Refrigerate for a few hours or until the mixture is set.
- 9. Cut into bars and enjoy!
Cooking Tips
Cooking Tips
- 1. Try using rubber gloves when placing the mixture into the pan to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers.
- 2. I've found that the easiest way to store these is to wrap them individually in parchment paper, put them in a plastic bag, and stick them in the freezer. When you want one you can defrost or microwave for 20-30 seconds!
- 3. They can be eaten frozen, half-thawed, or warmed up! Totally up to you.
- 4. I suggest using Wild Friends chocolate coconut peanut butter to get a chocolatey-coconutty taste.
