A different kind of Coconut Slice Recipe

This is not your usual coconut slice recipe made with flour, coconut, butter etc this recipe uses clean ingredients like maple syrup and coconut oil instead of sugar and butter. Using these ingredients creates a fudge like texture that is quite more-ish but more importantly the recipe has some amazing nutritional benefits. Did you know the maple syrup is high in antioxidants and contains vitamins and minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and manganese? It’s pretty cool that something so sweet and delicious can also have some nutritional benefit.

It’s important to remember that maple syrup is still a form of sugar so just because it has a WAY better nutritional profile than white sugar doesn’t mean you should guzzle it from the bottle! More importantly if you are suffering with gut issues or hormonal problems, then natural sugars like maple syrup and honey can still be problematic. If you fall into that category, I suggest you seek professional advice.

How to Toast Coconut

If you have never toasted your own coconut then now is definitely the time to start because toasting your coconut takes the flavour to a whole new level. So here’s how to do it:

  • Prepare a clean baking sheet and preheat the oven to 170C.
  • The amount of coconut you toast is completely up to you, you can start with as little as half a cup and increase to two cups or however much will fit on your baking sheet.
  • Spread the coconut over your baking tray and place in the oven for six to eight (6-8) minutes.
  • It is important to keep a close eye on the coconut as those tiny pieces are quite delicate and can burn very easily.
  • Once nice and toasted, remove the tray from the oven and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Toasted coconut is a delicious gut friendly addition to your breakfast bowl, desserts and recipes. Use it to make my fudge recipe below or try out these delicious toasted coconut joys, you won’t regret making these for your weekly treats!
