  My daughter can't have granola/oatmeal or anything like that so I make a kind of... date square/protein bar that uses coconut oil.
  
  1-2 cups of soaked unsweetened dates (1 cup for texture, a second cup will make them taste like date squares)
  1 cup of ground flax
  1 cup of hemp hearts
  Any other unsweetened fruit you like (I add raisins, apples and apricots because those are all I can get without added sugar).
  About 1/4 cup of coconut oil, up to 1/2 cup
  Some raw honey and natural peanut butter for flavour. 
  I mix it all in a food processor, flatten in a glass pan, let it sit in the fridge then cut it into squares. This only lasts 1-2 days in our house because they are delicious!

•  Always. I don't use anything but coconut oil in my baking.
