Toasted Coconut
This delicious treat tastes great morning, noon and night! It can be eaten as a snack - warm, right out of the oven, although I recommend that you ration it first because it is hard to stop once you start! It can serve as a low-carb version for your morning cereal or a topper for yogurt, oatmeal and even baked sweet potatoes. I also mix it with nuts to make homemade granola. The options are endless!

I first started toasting coconut chips to add to the homemade granola that I frequently made. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was eating the coconut out of the granola and ignoring the nuts! Eventually I started to make the coconut chips without the rest of the granola and have found them as a great way to garnish a lot of foods that I eat. Try it out and let me know what you think. For kids who don’t like coconut, you just might change their minds with this version!

The type of coconut chips I use are similar to these Terrasoul Coconut Chips, although I typically buy the store brand at my local Sprouts store.
I use a lot of coconut oil, so I typically buy mine at Costco.
