Gluten-free Coconut Oat Squares

If you have been creating with the Dish Kitch for a while, you know we are coco for coconuts. A near-perfect food, coconuts are very low in sugar despite being considered a fruit, which means they are also low carb. Coconuts have impressive amounts of fiber, manganese, and iron, and are also the original source of the notorious MCT oil. We also love coconuts because they are so delicious, versatile, and easy to source in Miami. This recipe is gluten-free and can be much lower in sugar by replacing the agave syrup with a sugar-free alternative. Our kitchen is always stocked with Nectevia Original Stevia Infused Nectar.

These squares are sweet and hearty, chewy, and satisfying. They could be a snack, dessert, or even light lunch replacement on the go.
