Tips for Making Mango Coconut Granola Bars

Here are some pointers to ensure this recipe comes out perfect every single time:

1. Use your hands to combine all of the ingredients together. The date-honey paste is super sticky, so using a spoon won’t cut it! This is also a fun step that your kids can get involved in. 😉
2. Very firmly press the granola mixture into the baking pan with your hands, the sides of a mug or a flat dish.
3. Allow the granola mixture to chill and harden completely in the freezer before cutting into bars. This will ensure that the granola bars hold together when sliced.

Optional: To enhance the flavor of the oats, you can lightly toast them on a baking sheet at 350°F for 10 minutes, just until they become fragrant.
