One of my favorite simple and delicious dessert recipes is the “Vegan Coconut Oil Chocolate Bars” recipe from Love Veggies and Yoga.  Love Veggies and Yoga is a great blog for yummy vegan dessert recipes :)

Vegan Coconut Oil Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp of coconut oil (I use organic, cold-pressed coconut oil)
  • 1.5 Tbsp agave (I usually use pure maple syrup)
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • Note: Try to be as precise as possible.

Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil and agave.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
  3. Add cocoa powder and stir.
  4. Pour into a dish lined with something that food doesn’t stick to easily (i.e. plastic wrap, silicone, parchment paper).
  5. Freeze.
  6. Remove from freezer, peel away the liner and enjoy!
