Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a little coconut oil.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the coconut flour to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the coconut flour mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining coconut oil over low heat. Add the shredded coconut and gently toast it until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut evenly over the top of the coconut flour mixture in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the biko is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Paleo Biko.
