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
Notes
What makes me giggle is that this makes 6-8 bars and can be stored for “at least a few weeks.” Right. Like I’m going to let anything this good last that long.
Have you tried using coconut sugar? What does everyone think of that?
Just a note– I tried making these with my Kitchen Aid instead of the food processor and they turned out great! Just in case you don’t feel like breaking out the food processor.
These look great! What would be your suggestion if I were to use xylitol as the sweetener? Should I use water with it? The 1/4 cup?
Thanks (:
Thanks for the recipe! Just warning – try to print it & you waste 93 pages of paper – ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
To print, highlight just the recipe itself, then right-click and hit “Copy.” They open a new Word document and right-click “Paste.” You can name this document, save it in a file of CCK Recipes, and print it easily from that point on.
Hi. All of the recipes look great. I am looking for things that I can fix my diabetic mom. Some of your recipes I think I can substitute some items and they will have less carbs and sugar. Keep posting. I love all the new ideas.
would honey work in place of agave?
Sure.
Hi! Looks really good! Can you use this receipe to make bounties? If not, could you please make one? 🙂
Here you go!

Can you use a blender instead of a food processor??
I can see why these are called Coconut Crack Bars. What with being so easy to make and having such a simple and delicious flavor, I could see myself getting as addicted to these as crack! I used two tablespoons local raw honey, two tablespoons water, and one packet of stevia, leaving everything else the same. In love!! I could see myself adding more vanilla or maybe omitting the vanilla and adding lemon extract. Such a great and easy recipe! Thank you!
OMG. This sounds amazing!
I’ve been craving coconut the last few days so I’m totally going to make this. I might add some vegan vanilla protein with extra stevia for some sweetness…especially because I rather not consume sugar. Your recipes are amazing, thank you!
Greetings from Germany 🙂
Nice recipe! Tried it out once like that and today I added blueberries 🙂
I’m looking forward to the result 😀
One can NEVER have enough BOOKS!! They do things like hold recipes like this one, or take you away to another time, another place, another world. xxoox
I added pure almond extract to these and they were amazing!
Found these bars on Pinterest and they look absolutely Heavenly – especially for so few ingredients (that I have on hand except enough shredded coconut)! Thank you!
Katie, these were amazing! So quick and easy! I will definitely be making these often, thank you for sharing your recipe!
