Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over high heat. Add coconut and let sit in pan until browning begins. Then toss coconut a bit, browning further. Remove coconut when all edges are a bit browned.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, spices, sweetener, salt, coconut oil, flax seeds, coconut and vanilla. Also fold in the optional mini chips. You could also add in chopped nuts, cacao nibs or chia seeds. Fold until evenly distributed and the oats soften a bit.
Step 4
Grease a rimmed baking sheet with coconut oil or a healthy oil spray. Pour the oat mixture in the pan and press firmly together, Pack the oats in and allow a thick layer to form. About 3/4" in thickness.
Step 5
Bake bars at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until those edges really brown up. Pull from oven. Cool.
