Why settle for expensive, store-bought coconut biscuits filled with unknown ingredients and unhealthy additives when you can whip up your own crunchy, tasty, and fragrant treats in less than 5 minutes? These Coconut Crunch biscuits are not only incredibly simple to make but also offer a delightful texture and flavor that’s sure to please.

Coconut is the key ingredient in this recipe, celebrated for its unique taste and impressive health benefits. Rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut provides a quick source of energy, making it an excellent choice for a healthy snack. MCTs are known to support metabolism and promote weight management by increasing energy expenditure. Additionally, coconut is high in dietary fiber, which aids digestion, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and keeps you feeling full for longer.

Combined with maple syrup, a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants and essential minerals like zinc and manganese, these coconut biscuits offer a healthier alternative to traditional, sugar-laden snacks. The natural sweetness of maple syrup perfectly complements the nutty, rich flavor of coconut, creating a treat that is as wholesome as it is delicious.

These homemade coconut biscuits are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while providing the added benefit of being gluten-free and vegan. Enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or even a quick breakfast option when you’re on the go.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (70 g) finely shredded coconut
• 4 tbsp. maple syrup

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded coconut and maple syrup.
2. Mix thoroughly until each coconut shred is evenly coated with the syrup, which acts as a binder.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4. Use a regular muffin pan and either brush it with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
5. Take small portions of the coconut mixture and press them firmly into the muffin pan using an espresso coffee spoon. This helps the mixture hold together.
6. Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake the biscuits for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown around the edges.
7. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
8. Allow the biscuits to cool completely before removing them from the pan.
9. This cooling process helps the biscuits firm up and become crunchy.
