2/3 cup toasted coconut shreds

1/8 tsp salt

½ cup coconut sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 ½ tbsp lime zest

Coconut Frosting

Directions

1.      Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.      Toast the coconut lightly in the oven on parchment paper.

3.      In a bowl, whisk the coconut almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut shreds, and salt.

4.      In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt and sugar. Add the egg, vanilla, and lime zest. Mix until everything is incorporated. 

5.      Add the wet ingredients in with the dry until the dough forms.

Tips for Baking: Most baking recipes that call for 350°F are written for a regular (conventional) oven. If you’re using a convection oven, the fan circulates hot air and makes desserts bake faster and more evenly, so you should usually lower the temperature to 325°F. At the same temperature, convection can bake items about 20–25% faster, meaning cookies or cakes that normally take 12 minutes may finish in about 9–10 minutes, and a 30-minute cake may be done in about 22–24 minutes. Lowering the temperature helps cookies and cakes bake evenly without over-browning the edges. 🍪🎂I always bake using my convection oven, so please monitor your baking time and always use a toothpick to check for doneness.
