Mango Coconut Granola Bars: The Perfect Homemade Snack

You are going to love this recipe for Mango Coconut Granola Bars, because they are bursting with tropical flavors and are made with just 6 ingredients. They are an ideal on-the-go snack, because they are easily portable, nutritious and will keep you feeling full for a long time.

These homemade granola bars are made entirely with wholesome ingredients, like rolled oats, almonds, shredded coconut and dried mango. Pureed dates and honey act like a glue that binds everything together.

How to Make Mango Coconut Granola Bars

Full instructions are included in the recipe below. But as a brief overview, to make this homemade granola bar recipe, simply:

  1. Make the date paste: Add the pitted dates and honey to a food processor. Process until they form a sticky paste.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: Stir together the rolled oats, dried mango, shredded coconut, and almonds in a bowl.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together: Combine the date paste with the dry oat mixture and press into a lined, square baking pan.
  4. Freeze and serve: Place in the freezer until firm, then cut into bars and serve.

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.

Where to Get the Best Healthy Snacks

    Had a tough time making the paste in my food pro. Had to add hot water.

      Hi Daniel, thanks for your feedback. I haven’t encountered that problem before with this recipe. However, sometimes if your dates are a bit dry or have slightly hardened, it can help to soak them in hot water and then drain off the excess water, prior to blending to them. So, in situations like that, adding some moisture is a good move. 🙂

    can I use dried dates instead of Medjool dates?

      Hi Heather! I recommend using Medjool dates, because they are plump and juicy. You can try using another type of dried dates, but if they are not moist at all, you can soak them in water for a few hours to moisten them a bit. Then, drain off the water and use the dates as written in the recipe.
