Ingredients

  • 1 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • Lime zest (optional topping)

  • Fresh berries (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and lime juice until combined.
  2. Add chia seeds and whisk well, then let sit for 10 minutes and stir again to prevent clumping.

  5. Spread mixture evenly into a parchment-lined dish.
  6. Chill for another 2–3 hours until firm and sliceable.

Notes

  • Stir mixture twice during initial setting to prevent chia clumps.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for best creamy texture.
  • Bars must be fully chilled to hold shape when sliced.
  • Customize with fruit, nuts, or chocolate variations.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
