3 Ingredient Kind Bars Recipe – Almond Coconut
The easiest Kind bars, coconut and almond flavored. Just 3 ingredients for chewy, crunchy, healthy coconut almond bars!
Tell me, what’s your favorite KIND bar flavor? I might just take a stab at it, even though that expression totally spooks me out. My plan is to create the most epic homemade KIND bar recipe collection… and share all of the tasty recipes with you. 😉
Have you tried almond coconut kind bars? It’s one of my sister, Penny’s, favorite healthy snacks. And when I tell you it’s one of her faves, that means something. Due to the fact that she’s the Granola Bar Expert in our fam.
And while she loved my 5 ingredient Homemade Nut Bars and my Homemade Dark Chocolate Sea Salt KIND Nut Bars, she was still craving a bit of sumthin’ sumthin’ in the neighborhood of Easy, on the street of Almond Coconut.
(Yeah, I kinda let that analogy get away from me.)
When I shared today’s KIND Bars: Almond Coconut-style with Penny, she was over the moon. Won’t you try making some homemade kind bars of your own and tell me what you think? I can’t wait!

I love homemade granola bars! These are packed with all of my favorite ingredients!
Something about homemade granola bars are just sooo tasty! Enjoy!
Could you substitute honey for syrup?
That should work! 🙂
Easy and healthy! Perfect for this time of year!
Doesn’t get any easier! Thanks Amy! 🙂
HI Demeter,
I hope you are enjoying the positively (relatively) balmy weather that has arrived in New England.
These kind bars are one of my favorites. Please thank your sister for me for recipe-ceptioning you.
Last year as I was staring my blog I sent you a comment and you sent me a very kind response. I wanted to thank you and say that is people like you that ripple circles of kindness in life. I mentioned you (and linked to you) in my latest blog post summing up this past year.
Thank you
-Hanne
Hi Hanne, the weather has been SO insane and ridiculously cold, so I’m glad it’s finally warming up. 🙂 So happy to hear you’re enjoying my kind bars. Thank you for such including me in your post. Congratulations on your first year of blogging! You did a fantastic job. I’m seriously drooling over those vegan ribs! Keep going and always believe in yourself. I do! <3

The BEST homemade snack. Thanks for sharing your recipe with the world.
Aw, thank you for such a high compliment, Jacque! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and sharing such positivity. Hugs!
Your sisters are a lucky bunch to receive your treats on the regular! These are sure to be another hit on IG and FB, Demeter, they look so good and only F.O.U.R ingredients! Fantastic! Happy Tuesday, hoping your week is wonderful, my friend!
Haha–that’s what I keep telling them! 😉 The fewer ingredients, the better! Thanks for stopping by, my friend. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead. xoxo
I made these yesterday and they are DELICIOUS!! Had the ingredients and very quick and easy to whip up!! Thank you for the tip of packing the mixture tight and bake till done.
Now to hide them from hubby!!!!
Woohoo!! That’s what I love to hear, Jan. 🙂 So glad the tip worked out for you. Good luck on hiding them from him! Haha. 😉
Those look like absolute perfection and now I REALLY want one!
Time to get the coconut and almonds out! Hope you get to try. 🙂
I can’t believe how simple these are — My kids would love these!
Awesome! I hope you and your kiddos get to try!

Wonderful! Can’t wait to hear what you think, Suad. 🙂
These bars look amazing, and I bet they taste even better than they look! I can’t believe they’re only 3 ingredients, too! Happy Monday, Demeter! xo
Thanks so much, Marsha! Easy and tasty are my middle names–maybe… heh heh. 😉 Happy Tuesday! xo
These bars would be perfect to grab and go on rushed mornings with no time for a sit-down breakfast!
For real! And when was the last time any of us had a moment for a sit-down breakfast? Haha.
Allergic to almonds and peanuts. These look SO good I will substitute pecans, walnuts or pistachios.
Andrea, subbing pecans, walnuts and pistachios sound like a great idea! How good do they sound together?? Can’t wait to hear how they turn out. 🙂
Only 3 ingredients? You have sold me. I am always looking for healthy options for my kids to get a boost of protein and satisfy their appetites. This fits the bill 🙂
These bars will do just the trick! Can’t wait to hear what you and your kids think. Enjoy!
Three ingredients!! THREE! Awesome! I love easy bars, especially when they are paleo and gluten free!! Great recipe! I can NOT wait to make these.
Right?? Any less and it might not count as a recipe–although I’ll still try! Haha. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Demeter…hello from California! I am sooooo gonna make these! Sharing everywhere too b/c I just know, they’re IT. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Traci! Hello from Boston! (Oh, how I’m missing that delightfully warm California weather right now haha). Thanks for sharing! Hugs.
I bet you’re missing it, Demeter. But Boston sounds pretty awesome…even in the winter (I’m a native midwesterner) 🙂 Happy 2018 to you…cheers!
These bars look absolutely delicious and so easy to make I will definitely try it soon 🙂
They couldn’t get easier! I’m always taken aback at how quick they are to make. Enjoy!
If you use sweetened coconut flakes, do you cut down on the maple syrup. That’s what I have on hand right now
Hi Jacquie, I wouldn’t recommend cutting down on the maple syrup–it’s what binds the ingredients together. With sweetened coconut flakes, the bars might be a bit too sweet. Try using more almonds instead of coconut, for example: 1 1/4 cup almonds and 3/4 cup coconut to balance it all out. Good luck! 🙂
These look amazing! Just like the real thing, can’t wait to try it!
They’re SO good! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
