Ingredient Notes
Here are the four ingredients needed in these coconut oatmeal bars
- Coconut Milk: I used canned coconut milk, which was a lot thicker than regular milk. See photo below for reference.
- Sweetened condensed milk: A full 300ml can is used.
- Shredded coconut: Unsweetened or sweetened works.
- Oats: I used rolled oats, large flake oats also work.
Step by step instructions
Here is how to make these 4 ingredient coconut oatmeal bars. You will need a 9×9 baking pan lined with parchment paper, a mixing bowl, a spatula, and a whisk.
Step 1: Prep. Line the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Melt milk and condensed milk. Using a small pot over low heat, melt the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth. You can also melt it in the microwave.
Step 3: Mix dry ingredients. Remove from the stove and pour into a bowl. Add the oats and shredded coconut and mix in.
Step 4: Transfer and bake. Add the mixture into the pan and press down firmly and evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool, slice, and enjoy.
