Bake for a total of 20-25 minutes, tossing after every 7-8 minutes. Make sure you watch it toward the end, don’t let it burn, it is hard to tell because of the already dark colour. Let it cool, it will crisp up as it cools. Store in an airtight container (you wont need to though, it will get eaten!) Makes 2 cups coconut chips.
Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week depending on the ingredients.
- Can I Freeze This?
- Many baked desserts freeze well for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.
- Baking Tip
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before starting unless the recipe specifies otherwise. This ensures better mixing and a more even bake.

Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis
An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars
I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free. These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.
