Homemade Coconut Butter And Two-Ingredient Carob Cups

  • December 16, 2021
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

By Sara McGlothlin

I discovered coconut butter at the same time my fear of healthy fat fell away. Unfortunately, coconut gets a bad rap because of its saturated fat content, which is controversial in the nutrition world. However, it is a medium-chain triglyceride which gets uniquely processed, and therefore can be beneficial for energy and metabolism.

I have always bought jars of coconut butter, but recently learned how to make it at home. I was amazed at how easy it is! All you need is 5 to 6 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut and a high-speed blender!

Two Ingredient Carob Cups

A low-sugar sweet treat that can also serve as a snack. Make in a silicone mold or mini muffin liners. The carob powder makes them naturally caffeine-free, so a good option to cure an after-dinner sweet tooth.
