For the glaze:

  • 1/2 cup whole organic sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners.

2. Mix flours, coconut and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Whisk coconut oil and sugar into a large bowl until well blended. Add egg and lemon zest, and beat well.

4. Add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with milk in 2 parts, stirring after each addition until just combined. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full.

5. Sprinkle tops with 4 tablespoons or more coconut. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until toothpick inserted in the center of muffin comes out clean.

6. While muffins are in the oven, prepare the glaze: Combine all 4 ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat on medium heat until boiling, and then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 4 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat.

7. When muffins are finished cooking, place on a wire rack with some aluminum foil underneath to catch the drips. Carefully spoon glaze over hot muffins.

Granola and Coconut Cream Bark

Bark
example of Coconut Cream Bark shown

Granola

Mix oats, shredded coconut, seeds and nuts, then set aside.

In a pan combine remaining ingredients. Heat and stir until well mix. Do not boil. Pour over oat mixture and stir to combine well. Pour granola into an edged baking pan. Bake at 300 F stirring every 10 minutes until lightly browned, about 20-30 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container.

I add this Granola recipe to a very similar Coconut Cream Concentrate recipe which I call Coconut Cream Bark. I have been making this recipe for almost a year now.

Coconut Cream Bark

Place Coconut Cream Concentrate jar in warm water to soften if needed. Mix the rest of the ingredients with the coconut cream and allow to set up in the refrigerator if you can wait!!

Options:

  • Roll balls of this filling in the granola recipe above or add granola to the Coconut Cream Concentrate mixture. Cool and break apart.
  • Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon or 1/4 cup carob powder.
  • Add carob chips.
  • Add other flavorings such as cherry, almond, or maple.
