Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Highlights Complete protein (egg) · Choline (egg) · Vitamin E (almond)

Allergens egg, tree nuts

Coconut bites

Just five ingredients and twenty minutes in the oven

Rico's note: Make a batch of these so there's always something sweet on hand, without opening a package of cookies.

Ingredients

  • 80 g (2¾ oz) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 48 g (1¾ oz) almond flour
  • 30 g (1 oz) sugar — no added sugar: 40 g erythritol
  • 1 egg (50 g / 1¾ oz)
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) coconut milk

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In the food processor, briefly pulse the shredded coconut, almond flour and sugar, just to combine.
