How to Make Mango Coconut Granola Bars

Combine the dry ingredients: Stir together the rolled oats, dried mango, shredded coconut, and almonds in a bowl.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together: Combine the date paste with the dry oat mixture and press into a lined, square baking pan.
Freeze and serve: Place in the freezer until firm, then cut into bars and serve.

Tips for Making Mango Coconut Granola Bars

These three steps will really help your granola bars to hold together when sliced:

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. 😉
Very firmly press the granola mixture into the baking pan with your hands, the sides of a mug or a flat dish.
Allow the granola mixture to chill and harden completely in the freezer before cutting into bars.

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.
