Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk

Instructions
- MAKE THE CRUST: Line an 8×8-inch dish with parchment. In a bowl, combine coconut, oats, syrup, coconut oil, and salt. Press the mixture evenly into the dish. Chill for 15 minutes to firm up.

- ASSEMBLE THE BARS: Pour the chia pudding over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
- TOP & SLICE: Sprinkle with toasted coconut and extra lime zest. Slice into bars and serve chilled.
