Pseudonym Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yum!What sweetener did you use? It says "maple syrup, coconut syrup or date paste" - I've never tried the last two, but I wouldn't have thought they'd be of an equivalent sweetness.

Its important to use syrup of some sort becuase sugar wont disolve in the cocnut fat (made that mistake the first time) They take about 10 min, I made loads and im keeping them in the freezer.

Pseudonym Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Is coconut sugar a specialty store kind of ingredient? I've never seen it in the supermarket... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben0 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Is this still classed as 'healthy' fat tho? A quick add up tells me its pretty much all sat fat and very little mono/poly fats..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah usually you can find it in the specialty section at supermarket. I got mine from Naturally Organic on the north shore (also online) http://www.naturallyorganic.co.nzIs coconut sugar a specialty store kind of ingredient? I've never seen it in the supermarket... Is this still classed as 'healthy' fat tho? A quick add up tells me its pretty much all sat fat and very little mono/poly fats..?Coconut oil is an MCT oil and recognised as more of a carb and used for energy and less likely to be stored as fat. I have been adding loads on my lower carb day and am very pleased with the increase in energy and lack of fat gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
