An item I’ve come across recently in a lot of recipes has been Coconut Oil and the wonderful folks at Tropical Traditions sent a jar of their Virgin Coconut Oil for me to try!
When I received this item in the mail, I immediately decided to take it for a test run! My recipe of choice, a favorite afternoon almond flour recipe of mine - Chocolate chip cookies!
I will share this recipe later, but the Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil was a perfect blend!
These cookies were just the way I like them…crispy and extra chocolaty!
I also decided to make an almond flour/coconut flour English muffin the following morning for breakfast!
Enter: Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil once again!
I was very impressed by the smoothness and the texture of this oil. When at room temperature, the oil is solid; when heated, the oil becomes liquid – perfect for measuring! I’ve worked with other coconut oils in the past and none have been as smooth as this one!
I really enjoyed the cookies and the homemade English Muffin thanks to Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil! :0)

Ooh, Karen! I LOVE coconut oil! My favorite recipe would be any cookie recipe with it-- it seems to give a great texture to the cookies unlike olive oil-- the coconut oil makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Mmmm...
ReplyDeleteI love that too...crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Mhmhh...I think I might have a cookie now! :0)

I love it when using it to pop my popcorn!
ReplyDeleteLove it on popcorn with pink Himalayan salt and nutritional yeast - YUM!
ReplyDeleteOn my scalp! It's sooo much more soothing than anything else for an itchy head. Plus it conditions my hair. Of course, I also love to fry just about any veggie in it!
ReplyDeleteThat might prompt me to bake more! Mmm!
ReplyDeleteI have heard wonderful things about coconut oil but have yet to try it. I am excited about this giveaway. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love using coconut oil, especially with any Asian or Curry foods.
ReplyDeleteI love coconut oil, but my absolute favorite "recipe" is to mix coconut oil with cocoa powder (or baking chocolate) and shredded coconut and make Coconut Chocolate Bark. I melt the coconut oil and after stirring the other ingredients into it, I pour in molds or a glass pie pan and place in freezer for a few minutes; store "candy" in fridge.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just stir cocoa powder into softened (but not liquid) coconut oil and eat it like a pudding or truffle. mmmmmmm

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I really like coconut oil pie crust (almond flour-based). And coconut oil shortbread cookies with fresh raspberries :)
ReplyDeleteCoconut oil cinnamon butter for my toast :) simple and delicious and gets some healthy fats in quickly.
