These no-bake coconut bars are completely irresistible – and you can make them in under 10 minutes!
As if I needed yet another addictive no-bake recipe on the blog.
Oh but one can never have enough no-bake recipes, right?
Especially when there is coconut involved.
You know what else one can never have enough of?
Obviously I would say chocolate.
The eleven different types of chocolate bars in my kitchen pantry attest to that. My roommate would say makeup, as her collection could stock three separate branches of Sephora.
My sister would probably say shoes. Although she might say nailpolish.
She really does have a lot of nailpolish.

And one can never have enough coconut.
Except maybe my crazy boyfriend who just yesterday informed me that he doesn’t like coconut.
I think I stared at him blankly for over five minutes, trying to comprehend that statement.
You know, I also once dated a guy who didn’t like chocolate… 😕
Fill in the Blank: One can never have enough ________.
Dishes? Scarves? Jars of peanut butter?
I’m also going to throw jeans and bathing suits onto my list, because even with all the ones I already own, I always want to buy more.
Oh, and puppies… I can’t go into Petsmart on adoption days for fear of taking home all the rescue puppies!
No-Bake Coconut Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (80g)
- 1/4 cup agave or pure maple syrup, or 1/4 cup water and stevia to taste
- 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil (For substitutions, see nutrition link below)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- optional mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor. (Mixing by hand will still taste good, but the bars will crumble.) Squish into any small container–I used a 7×5–and refrigerate for an hour before trying to cut. Or freeze for 15 minutes. Can be stored in the fridge or freezer, for at least a few weeks.View Nutrition Facts

I just found your website and I love it! This is the first thing I made – they are super easy and delicious!! Instead of making bars, I rolled the mixture into little “Coconut Crack Balls”. These are going in my lunch bag as an afternoon snack to have with tea. I think I might roll them in more coconut and maybe even some carob chips next time around. Thanks, Katie 🙂
Would the texture change if I used liquid stevia in the 1/4 cup of water instead of the packs?
OMG YUM! Seriously can’t wait to try these! I may take them for a dip in some melted dark chocolate. 😉 Coconut? Chocolate? All things good in this world. 🙂
Wow!! These are amazing!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!
I just made these a couple of nights ago and they certainly did NOT disappoint. Rich, delicious – – melt in your mouth, yummy! I will make these again to be sure!
Katie, you are the lady!! These were magical just like all your nummy recipes.
Where would I find coconut butter or chocolate coconut butter?
I made these and melted chocolate over the top. AMAZING!!
What is it that coconut haters hate about coconut??? My husband despises it. I love it. When I was a little kid, anytime I’d save up a little money, rather than buying candy I would buy a whole coconut. Can’t wait to try this!
I love the sound of this recipe. I’m trying to find a safe sweet food that my poor BFing wife can eat. Our little one is having issues with dairy, rice, and oats so there goes half the good deserts! When I saw this recipe I was thrilled, but wasn’t sure about whether maple syrup or agave were safe for a BFing mommy. I’m still going to look into maple syrup, even though my wife said its a known allergen that she wants to avoid, but agave.

I was shocked, to say the least. Sounds so innocent and healthy, but as usual there seems to be a dark side. What do you think?
Why does every freaking recipe have to be “crack” this and “crack” that. Have you ever freaking done crack? You sound like a woman on too much antidepressants!
How many grams are in each bar if the recipe supplies 6-8 servings?
