Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sweetened or unsweetened coconut
  • 1 1/4 cup oat flour*
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut M&M’s

  • 1/4 cup plain 0% fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread coconut out on it. Baked in oven for a 5-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the edges.
  3. In a bowl, combine oat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, M&M’s, and coconut. Melt the two tablespoons of coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds, then 15 second increments after that. In a separate bowl, combine egg, greek yogurt, coconut oil and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a dough is formed.

Notes

*To make oat flour, put 1-1 1/4 cups oats in a food processor and process until they are the consistency of flour.
