Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut/seed butter)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey for sweetness)

1 cup ripe mango puree (fresh or canned)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

Fresh mango slices (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats and shredded coconut. Stir them together thoroughly to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, mango puree, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix everything together until all components are fully combined and the mixture holds together.

        Set the Bars: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy lifting later. Transfer the mixture to the dish, pressing it down firmly to form an even layer across the bottom.

          Chill the Mixture: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. Allowing it to set longer will result in firmer bars.

            Slice and Serve: Once chilled and set, gently lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into squares or rectangles according to your preference. For an added touch, garnish with chopped pistachios and serve alongside fresh mango slices.

              Store: Keep any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months for longer storage.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes | Servings: 12 bars

                  - Presentation Tips: For a beautiful serving, arrange the bars on a platter with fresh mango slices artfully placed around them, and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios on top for color and crunch. Enjoy your tropical treat!
