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!

LeeAnne says, “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.”
Rhiannon says, “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!”

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’ve never heard of a kind bar! Sounds amazing with the almonds and coconut! Cannot wait to try
Oh well get rest Marie-Charlotte, because you’re in for some seriously yummy treats!
3 ingredients! I love that part. These came out like my favorite store bought bar. They are so easy to make and more cost effective than buying them. Thanks for sharing!
Haha oh yes, it’s one of my fave parts, too. 😉 So happy you’re enjoying them!
These look incredible! My kids love Kind bars so I can’t wait to give this a try!
I know they’re gonna love it!
I can’t believe how easy Kind-style bars are to make at home. These are lovely to look at and delicious to eat!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear it was a hit for y’all Jill!
Can’t do maple syrup. Would honey work?
That should work. Let me know how it goes!
I just made these, I took mine out at 35 minutes because they were browning a lot! They also won’t stick for me, they just fall apart. Should I cook at a lower temp? Any suggestions? They are still delicious, taste really great. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Alexis! Make sure you rightly pack the mixture into the pan—this will make a big difference. What size pan are you using?
i just tried this and I left one dish in as the oven cooled, and that pan did much better about sticking together than the first! So maybe that would help? Perhaps I took the first pan out too soon.
Both very tasty though! Thanks for the recipe!
Great tip Amy! A little more heating, or some cooling in the pan, will definitely help reduce sticking. Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s hard to rate a recipe I haven’t tried yet. Has anyone made these, and how did they turn out? Thanks
I totally get that! Check out other reader comments for their feedback. 🙂 Hope you get to make them & enjoy!
Fabulous!! Thank you so much for a great recipe. I’m always looking for something a little sweet… This recipe is perfect. The only negative… It’s probably not healthy to eat the pan in one sitting. So hard to resist. I also forgot to use parchment paper… So I thought I’d just cut them out of the pan… Wrong move using a ceramic knife as the tip broke off… Same color as the coconut. I am chewing each piece well and slowly because I can’t imagine throwing them out.
Thanks Jill!! 🙂 It is absolutely my pleasure. Also… oh no on the knife chipping!!! Bugger on it being the same color as the coconut. Hope you get to try a batch of these kind bars with parchment paper & sans ceramic knife chips!
I just made this recipe and it’s delicious!! I blitzed the almonds and coconut a bit cos I have senstive teeth, it was a nice texture. Thanks so much for the recipe, I will keep making it 🙂
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it Mai! Erik has sensitive teeth too, so I know how challenging it can be to find the right snacks. Glad it was a hit! 🙂
So I made these twice within 2weeks; first time I added some dried cranberries, I didn’t have enough maple syrup so I added brown rice syrup as well with an extra dollop (I found 1/4 cup is enough). Turned out great. 2nd batch I added a medley of dried cranberries, not enough whole almonds (had sliced almonds on hand) and chia seeds. Another thumbs up.
It’s crazy what stores charge for snack bars, thank you for this recipe great for work and when I go hiking. Or for anything. I’ve tried several different recipes this will be my go to recipe, simple, easy and that I can switch it up.
Oh I know, they can be so expensive in stores! I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe Mia, and I love all the variations you’ve made! .
