Chocolate Coconut Oat Bars

2 1/2 c rolled oats
1 c almond meal
1 c unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 c cocoa powder
1/4 tsp stevia
1/2 c extra-virgin coconut oil
1/2 c honey or maple syrup
1 c mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 275.  Combine oats, almond meal, coconut, cocoa powder and stevia in a large bowl.  Mix well.  Combine coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Stir until mixture is hot, not boiling.  Pour over oat mixture and stir until well mixed and cooled slightly.  Stir in chocolate chips, quickly but thoroughly.  Press the mixture into an ungreased 8 x 8 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes.  Remove from oven and cool completely.  Cut into small squares. Refrigerate until firm.
