For this recipe, you will need:
Coconut Butter: I used Artisana Organics, but any will work, just check the ingredient label
Coconut Oil: make sure you use unrefined and virgin as it’s not processed and that you melt it before adding it to the recipe
Maple Syrup: it’s best to use pure maple syrup for best flavor and to be the most nutrient dense and cleanest option
Tips:
- If you are going to make this in advance and store it in the refrigerator, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes in order to soften
- It is best to make this recipe and use it immediately
- Make sure to warm up your coconut butter for 30 seconds in the microwave as it can harden while being stored in your pantry
