Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 cup pitted dates, chopped

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup almond butter (or substitute with peanut butter)

1 cup dried mango slices, finely chopped

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon sea salt

Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, or macadamia nuts) for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a food processor, add the rolled oats, chopped dates, and shredded coconut. Pulse the mixture until it resembles a coarse flour texture, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.

    Add the Wet Ingredients: To the processed dry mixture, incorporate the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Pulse again until the ingredients are fully combined, forming a sticky, cohesive dough.

      Incorporate Mango: With a spatula, gently fold in the finely chopped dried mango slices and optional nuts. Ensure they are well distributed throughout the dough for maximum flavor in every bite.

        Form the Bars: Line an 8x8-inch (or equivalent-sized) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easier removal later. Transfer the mixture into the lined dish, and using your hands or the back of a spatula, firmly press down to create an even, compact layer.

          Chill the Bars: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm. This chilling time is essential to help the bars maintain their shape when cut.

            Cut into Bars: After the mixture has set, carefully lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Set it on a cutting board and slice into bars or squares, according to your desired size.

              Store and Enjoy: Keep the bars stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the bars, ensuring they remain a quick and tasty snack.
