Homemade Heavenly Hunks are no-bake, chewy oat bars packed with shredded coconut, cacao butter, and dark chocolate chips. These bars combine rolled oats blended to a coarse powder and bound together with melted agave syrup, coconut oil, and cacao butter, creating a naturally sweet and satisfying snack. Perfectly pressed into a pan and chilled overnight, they offer a delightful balance of texture and flavor, making them an ideal healthy treat for any time of day.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups (330g) rolled oats
  • 2/3 cup (45g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup (30g) tapioca flour (or protein powder alternative)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (80g) mini dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (160g) agave or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (50g) coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (45g) cacao butter (or additional coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Melt wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the agave syrup, coconut oil, and cacao butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Blend oats: Place the rolled oats in a food processor and blend for 10 seconds until they reach a powdery consistency with some larger oat pieces remaining.
  3. Add dry mix-ins: Add the shredded coconut, tapioca flour, and salt to the food processor. Pulse for about 5 seconds just to combine.
  4. Incorporate wet mixture: Pour the cooled liquid mixture into the food processor and blend until the dough becomes sticky and holds together.
  5. Mix in chocolate chips: Add the mini dark chocolate chips and pulse a few times to evenly distribute without breaking them down.
  6. Press into pan: Line a 9×5 inch pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture very firmly into the pan to form an even layer.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the pan overnight, or for a minimum of 6 hours, to allow the bars to firm up completely.
  8. Cut and store: Remove from the fridge, cut into approximately 24 squares, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.

Notes

  • You can substitute tapioca flour with protein powder for an added protein boost.
  • If cacao butter is unavailable, using more coconut oil is a suitable alternative.
  • Pressing the mixture firmly into the pan is important to ensure bars hold together well.
  • Overnight refrigeration is necessary for proper firming; do not skip this step.
  • Store bars in the refrigerator to maintain texture and prevent melting.
