If using homemade chocolate recipe, combine 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup cocoa, and 2 tbsp
of coconut nectar until smooth, following the same directions as noted above.
I also made the mini carrot muffins and the rosemary lemon mini muffins substitutiing the same
amount of coconut nectar for the agave nectar and they were both perfect!
Thanks Alexandra for your comment;) You know I haven't even heard
of a coconut nectar before ~ ha, a good day to learn something new — and I'll be looking for that on my next shopping trip;) ps.
Optional: Drizzle a very TINY amount (1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
of coconut nectar across the top for an extra caramel topping affect.
For the Apple Cider Vinegar Dijon Dressing: 2 TB Apple Cider Vinegar 2 TB Dijon Mustard 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spritz of Lemon A Drop of Sweetener (I used one
drop of coconut nectar, I think maple syrup or honey would work well — it's simply to bring out flavors) Salt and Pepper (to taste)
I used raw cashew butter instead of PB, and a
mixture of coconut nectar, stevia, and maple extract in place of the maple syrup.
I subbed almond flour for all purpose and instead of the sugar, I used 1/2
c of coconut nectar and 3 medjool dates.
I personally use and recommend a
combination of coconut nectar, coconut sugar, medjoul dates and occasionally yacon syrup in our kitchen, and have detailed the pros of each of these below.
Dessert: Fruit Sundaes with Coconut Whipped Cream from The W.H.O.L.E. Gang (I will use 1/2
cup of Coconut Nectar after seeing Shirley's beautiful Honey version of the whipped cream on GFE)
(For reference, I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten - free Flour instead of Debbie's flour mixture [only because I had some on hand], and Earth Balance Soy - free Butter in place of sunflower butter, honey instead
of coconut nectar, and olive oil in place of coconut oil.
Rice syrup instead
of coconut nectar will be fine.
mine didn't look as pretty, and i used honey throughout (instead
of coconut nectar), and organic fair trade sugar (we have that and i do use sugar sometimes) for the caramel.
Hi, I just bought a bottle
of your Coconut Nectar and it's so yummy!!!
