Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1 cup chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and golden; allow to cool.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the toasted pecans with 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 6 tbsp melted coconut oil. Mix thoroughly to form a sticky crumb mixture.
  3. Step 3: Press the pecan-oat mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan lined with parchment paper to form an even crust.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tsp lime zest, and 2 tbsp fresh lime juice until smooth and well combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the lime mixture evenly over the crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  6. Step 6: Cut into 12 bars and serve chilled for a refreshing tropical dessert.
