8 Medjool dates
2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3 cups flaked coconut
2 tablespoons coconut oil

Steps:

Line a 7-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Place flaked coconut in the food processor and blend until a butter forms, about 10 minutes. Scrape sides down occasionally.
