Healthy Coconut Date Bars
Sweet, rich, and chewy, despite being "healthy", these bars are good snacks and excellent for breakfast! No refined sugar, plenty of oats, and it's hard not to eat three of them at a time. (So much for healthy.)

The coconut is part of the flavor more than the texture of it. And I discovered these are great for breakfast!
