Instructions: 

  • Preheat oven to 350 and line a 9X9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl mix together graham cracker crumbs, Quaker Oats, sugar, and melted butter. Pour mixture into baking pan and using the bottom of a measuring cup push the mixture down. Be sure to really push into the corners. Next, place into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Once done baking remove from the oven.
  • While the graham crackers crust is baking mix together the shredded coconut, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Once the graham cracker crust is out of the oven, pour the coconut mixture over the top and spread out evenly using a spatula. Now place pan back into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
  • While the coconut layer is baking, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave. Once coconut layer has slightly browned edges remove from the oven and pour over the melted chocolate. Smooth out evenly, sprinkle on salt, and allow to fully cool on counter or in the fridge.
  • Slice and enjoy! These will stay perfectly in the freezer!
