Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

Spread the oats and coconut evenly across a baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast oats and coconut in preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Mix honey, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until smooth. Pour the honey mixture over the oats and coconut; stir to coat. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
