RecipeIngredients
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 3 cups shredded coconut (I like 'Let's do Organic' brand)
  • ½ tsp crushed saffron threads
  • Additional 1 tbsp of coconut oil
RecipeInstructions
  1. Line a 8 inch by 8 inch square brownie pan with parchment paper. Keep aside.
  2. Heat a medium size stainless steel saute pan. Add the coconut oil, coconut milk, maple syrup and salt. Stir slowly to mix. Add 2 cups of the shredded coconut and stir carefully to incorporate with the liquid mixture. Slowly add the 3 rd cup of shredded coconut and mix again carefully to get all the coconut mixed with the wet ingredients. Continue to stir on low heat for another 2 minutes until you get a fully cohesive mixture. Turn heat off.
  3. Place saffron threads in between two parchment paper sheets and lightly crush them using a pestle or a rolling pin. Add the crushed saffron into the coconut mixture and add the additional coconut oil and stir again slowly while the mixture is still hot.
  4. Dump the above mixture into the parchment lined pan. Use the back of a spoon or a cup to spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
  5. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares. Place back in the refrigerator until serving.
