Description
These no-bake chia pudding bars are a refreshing and healthy treat made with a coconut-lime flavor combo. Perfect for a light dessert or snack, they’re vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted Medjool dates
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1 1/4 cups canned coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend dates, almonds, shredded coconut, coconut oil, and sea salt until the mixture is sticky and holds together when pressed.
- Press the crust mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch baking pan to form an even layer. Place in the freezer to firm up.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together chia seeds, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lime juice, and lime zest.
- Let the chia mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping, until it thickens.
- Pour the thickened chia pudding over the crust and spread evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Once set, slice into bars and serve chilled.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Can be frozen for longer storage—thaw in fridge before serving.
- Use light coconut milk if preferred, but texture may vary.
