Lemon Coconut Bars [Vegan]

Dairy Free

Besides being durable and full of good-for-you ingredients, these Lemon Coconut Bars are moist and slightly sweet with a fresh lemon flavor. Snack perfection! Plus, I dig all the coconut chewies in it. I used big flakes in mine but you can use the shreds too.
