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.

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

These bars were a bit too sweet for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These bars were a bit too crumbly for me. I think I'll try using a different type of flour next time.

These bars are so versatile! I've made them with different types of nuts and seeds, and I've also used different sweeteners. The bars always turn out delicious, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I highly recommend this recipe.

I loved the simplicity of this recipe. I didn't have any coconut oil, so I substituted olive oil, and it worked perfectly. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. The bars turned out delicious and were perfect for a quick and easy snack.

These cocoa-coconut bars were a hit at my last potluck party. They were so easy to make and they disappeared in no time. I used a gluten-free flour blend, and they turned out great. The bars were chewy and the chocolate and coconut flavors were perfe
