- 1/3 cup melted coconut oi
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

- Transfer the ingredients to a large bowl.
- Add the coconut oil and honey and stir well to combine.
- Transfer the ingredients to a 9" x 9" pan lined with parchment paper.
- Press the ingredients down with a spoon to form a flat, even layer.

- Remove the pan from the freezer and cut the bars into desired sized pieces.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- These bars are quite crumbly which is why I recommend storing them in the freezer.
- I don't recommend using butter instead of coconut oil for these bars.
