Benefits of Coconut

Coconut contains medium chain triglycerides known as MCTs where are know to digest slowly and can be a preferred source of energy for the body.

Shredded coconut contains over 2.5 grams protein and more than 4 grams of fiber in just one cup. Protein, fiber and healthy fats help you feel full longer. One cup of shredded coconut also contains almost 2 milligrams of zinc, a important mineral for your immune system this holiday season.

Look for unsweetened shredded coconut for baking recipes consuming excess unnecessary sugar.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cups unsweetened flaked coconut *
  • 3 egg whites
  • .75 cups local honey or 100% real maple syrup
  • .5 tsp sea salt
  • Toppings: Holiday themed edible treats!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl add the egg whites and use a handheld blender with whisk attachment to whisk egg whites to stiff peaks.
  • Add the honey and salt and stir or whisk together with the egg whites.
  • Add the shredded and flaked coconut and, and mix thoroughly.
  • Use a non-stick donut pan and grease/oil it heavily.
  • Spoon mix into donut molds, bake in oven for 12 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes in donut pan and then gently pop out wreaths, let wreaths cool for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Notes: The same mix/batter can be used to make coconut macaroon mounds instead of wreaths.
  • *Avoid very large flakes of the flaked coconut, chop if necessary. Large flakes cause the macaroons to break apart easily.
  • If you do not have a donut pan, chill the mix/batter for 30 minutes and then form wreaths with your hands on a greased/lined baking sheet.
