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!

3 Ingredient Kind Bars Recipe – Almond Coconut
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted almonds
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or raw coconut chips
- ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add almonds, coconut and salt (if using) to a large bowl. Stir until well mixed. Pour maple syrup over this mixture. Fold until well incorporated.
- Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a rubber spatula, press down on mixture and smooth into a tightly-packed, even layer. Bake for 28-38 minutes (mine took 33 mins). Bars must bake thoroughly, or they won’t hold together when cooled.
- Allow to cool for 1 hour (or until completely cooled), in the pan on a cooling rack. Pinching opposite ends of the parchment paper lining, lift bars out of pan. Gently peel parchment paper off the bottom of the bars. Slice into 12 bars (6 rows by 2 columns). Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

I am so grateful to have this recipe! I made two batches because my husband stole the first to take to work for healthy snacking. Thank you so much!
Aww you’re too sweet Rhiannon! 🙂 I’m so thrilled to hear you and your husband enjoyed the bars–having healthy snacks during the work day is so important. Happy baking! ☺️
These bars look absolutely fantastic. Beautiful photos, too. I look forward to trying this. My wife would love it!
Thanks Jack! I really appreciate it. Hope you two enjoy!
Hi, do you think Agave Nectar could be used instead of maple syrup?
That might work, but the amount might need to be adjusted. Let me know how it turns out if you try! 🙂
Hi Demeter! I made these recently. The flavor is incredibly awesome. I had a little trouble getting them off the aluminum foil and they were a little dry and hard to cut. Could this have been from using aluminum foil instead of parchment paper? The middle stuck to the foil and I had to dig them off the foil. Nonetheless, I’m making them again tonight. And this time I’ll use parchment paper.
Hi Janet! Did you grease the foil before you used it? Personally, I prefer parchment paper because foil is just so fragile! Let me know how the second batch goes. Good luck! 🙂
I tried making these bars a couple days ago and also had trouble with them shattering. Perhaps I overbaked them? How do you know when between 28 and38 minutes to remove the pan from the oven?
I am making these as a dessert for our Easter brunch, I know they are going to be great. My family loves coconut flakes, almonds and maple!!! I am going to drizzle a high end melted dark chocolate to the bars for an added treat!!! Thank you for this great recipe.
What a wonderful idea, Rose! Coconut and chocolate treats are always so great during Easter. I hope you and your family enjoy. Have a wonderful Easter! 🙂
These were SOOOOO good! I also threw in a small handful of pepitas…yum!
The flavor was excellent, though I need to improve my cutting skills with them. I think next time I am going to try baking them in a silicone bar mold I have so I don’t have to cut them at all.
My 21 year-old son thought they were better than the ones from the store. I agree!
Hi Jenn, so happy to hear it! 🙂 Those pepitas sound amazing in this! Cutting: I use a super sharp knife, so that may help, although the mold sounds like such a good idea. Happy baking. 🙂
Do you know the fiber per serving? Looks divine and eazzy peezy..
I just made these, they turned out really well. I think I like them more than the bars that inspired them. I spend a small fortune on kind bars to keep in my car when I don’t get a chance to eat, now I can make them myself. Thanks so much for posting this.
Wonderful! I’m so happy that you liked them even more than the original. 🙂 There’s just something so satisfying about making them from scratch (that, and the fact that they’re cheaper lol). Enjoy!
Can you use unflacked coconut?
Hi Cecile, do you mean large chunks of coconut or small pieces of coconut? Either way, large, flaked coconut works best for this recipe. But you’re welcome to try the other kinds! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
