Best Coconut Chips Recipes

OATMEAL COCONUT SQUARES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a 9-inch square metal baking pan with a 12- to 14-inch-long sheet of foil, letting excess hang over sides, and butter foil in pan.
• Toss together oats, flour, brown sugar, chips, coconut, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat together butter, egg, and vanilla with a fork in another bowl, then stir into oat mixture until incorporated. Spoon batter into baking pan, patting evenly.
• Bake in middle of oven until set, about 25 minutes. Remove from pan by lifting ends of foil. Cool on a rack, then cut into 16 squares.

COCONUT CHIPS

Steps:

• Remove the flesh from 1 brown coconut, leaving the thin skin on. Shave the coconut flesh into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Toss 2 cups of the shaved coconut with 1 to 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast in a 300 degrees F oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH COCONUT CHIPS AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast sunflower seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, heat chopped bittersweet chocolate and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until melted. Remove from heat and let sit, stirring occasionally, until cool, 10-15 minutes.
• Finely grind sunflower seeds in spice mill. Transfer to a medium bowl and add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda; whisk to combine. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition before adding the next. Beat until mixture is very light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add melted chocolate mixture, followed by dry ingredients; beat just until combined. Mix in coconut and both chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Using a 2" cookie scoop or 1/4-cup measuring cup, portion out dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing at least 2" apart (these are large cookies; you probably won't fit more than 8 per sheet). Flatten cookies slightly with your palm and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until cookies are just barely set around edges but still wet-looking in the center (they will seem underdone, but you don't want to overbake), 15-20 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.
• Dough can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before portioning. Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead; store airtight at room temperature.

WARM MANGO TART TATIN ON COCONUT MERINGUE WITH PAPAYA SORBET, TANGERINE HONEY SAUCE, AND OVEN DRIED SPICED PINEAPPLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F.
• To make the coconut meringue, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks. Add the sugar slowly and continue to whip until sugar is dissolved and meringue reaches the stiff peak stage. Fold in the toasted shredded coconut and place meringue into a pastry bag with a plain round tip. Pipe the meringue onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper into a circular motion to create a disk the diameter of 4-ounce ramekins. Bake until light golden brown, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the mango Tart Tatin: In a medium skillet, over medium high heat, combine the water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the skillet. Cook until the mixture just starts to caramelize, and add the mangos. Stir until the mangos are coated. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, and then remove from heat. With a slotted spoon remove mangos from cooking liquid. Place mangos into a container and let cool to room temperature. Reserve the cooking liquid for the sauce.
• When the mangos have cooled, pack them into a buttered, 4-ounce ceramic ramekin and bake approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a coconut meringue disk.
• To make the tangerine honey sauce, add the mint leaves to the warm cooking liquid from the mangos. Stir to incorporate, set aside, and keep at room temperature.
• To make the papaya sorbet, dissolve the sugar and water in a large container. Add the papaya puree and lemon juice and freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Oven-dried spiced pineapples: In a medium sized saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla paste, cardamom seeds, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and add the pineapple slices. Soak the slices in the hot syrup for 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove the slices and drain well. Place pineapple slices onto a silicone baking mat or a parchment lined sheet tray in a single layer. Do not let the slices touch each other. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Store in airtight container.
• Place the tart tatin in the center of a plate. Place a small scoop of the sorbet on the side or on top of the tart, surround the tart with the honey sauce, and garnish with the dried pineapple chips.

COCONUT FLOUR BANANA MUFFINS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Blend bananas, eggs, coconut flour, stevia, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk or a fork. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 1/2 inch from the top as these muffins won't rise as much as others.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; the moisture from the bananas will leak through the liners a little and this is normal.

CRAB AND COCONUT DIP WITH PLANTAIN CHIPS

Steps:

• Blend coconut milk, scallions, jalapeño, and 1/4 cup cilantro in a blender until smooth and pour into a bowl. Whisk in mayonnaise, juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro until just combined. Stir in crab and salt to taste and serve spooned on plantain chips.

COCONUT CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Test each of the three eyes at stem end of coconut to see which is the softest. Then use an ice pick (or a screwdriver) and a hammer to pierce two of the eyes. Strain water through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve for another use or discard.
• Place coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes, or until coconut shell begins to crack. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Wrap coconut in a clean kitchen towel; holding coconut with one hand, hit it with a hammer in the same place several times to crack the outer shell and split the coconut into several large pieces.
• Separate coconut flesh from shell, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark outer skin, if desired. Rinse and dry coconut. Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, remove strips from edges.
• Divide coconut strips between 2 rimmed baking sheets in a single layer; season with salt. Bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.

OVERNIGHT OATS WITH PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Pour 1/3 cup oats each into four half-pint mason jars. Top each with 1 tablespoon each peanut butter, chocolate chips and coconut. Pour about 1/2 cup milk into each jar, covering the oats. Close the lid on each jar and chill in the fridge overnight.
• The next morning, remove the lids and give each jar a slight stir. Top with sliced banana and a dusting of cinnamon.

SWEET POTATO TOAST WITH ALMOND BUTTER, BANANA AND TOASTED COCONUT CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes, coconut oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
• Divide the almond butter among the toasts, then top each with sliced banana and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Serve immediately.

FISH & CHIPS WITH COCONUT BATTER AND TARTARE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the fish into four equal-sized pieces. Season and dust with 2 tsp of the flour. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining flour, egg, coconut milk and baking powder with some salt until you have a smooth, thick batter. Add a little more coconut milk if your mixture is particularly stiff.
• In a small bowl, mix together the tartare sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Pour vegetable oil into a large wok to a depth of 2cm and heat - it's hot enough when a small piece of bread browns in 20 secs. Fry the fish in batches, dipping each piece into the batter, then gently lowering into the oil. Fry for 2-3 mins until golden, turning once. Drain on kitchen paper, then put in a low oven to keep warm while you fry the rest.
• Serve the fish with the chips, peas, tartare and lemon wedges.
