Notes
- If unsweetened coconut chips are unavailable, consider preparing your own using shredded coconut as a base.
- For a low-carb option, Lakanto sweetener or xylitol are recommended, with erythritol as an alternative though less sweet, so quantity adjustments may be necessary.
- For autoimmune protocol diets, organic coconut sugar is suitable, while the use of honey or maple syrup has not been tested.
- This recipe fits the Trim Healthy Mama "S" category when using specified sweeteners like xylitol or erythritol.
- Cooling the toasted coconut chips after cooking enhances their crispness before serving.
