Oat coconut granola bars

We just did the taste test for these bars. Very good. They are unbaked so very quick. 

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened 

1 tbsp oat flour (I ground mine from oats                 in a coffee grinder)

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1/3 cup honey

1/4 tsp vanilla

3 tbsp mashed banana (about 1 banana)

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

1. In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, oat flour, flaxseed, pecans, and salt. Stir everything well. Set aside. 

2. Melt together coconut oil and honey until thin. Add vanilla and mashed banana. 

3. Pour oil mixture into dry ingredients and mix well. Mix in chocolate chips. 

4. Scoop into 8 x 8 inch pan. Press well down. Cover and put into fridge until set. About 2 hours. Cut into 12 bars. Keeps well for a week in fridge.
