How to Make Easy 'Coconut Surprise' Dessert

This sugar-free, flour-free dessert is a favorite at our house. We've adapted it and always add something a little different each time, hence the name 'Coconut Surprise.' It's very easy to make, and doesn't take long, either.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1/2 cup raisins or other fruit (optional)
• Shallow pan
• Oil for pan

1. In a medium-sized bowl mix eggs with a whisk or fork. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Add remaining ingredients (coconut, almond flour, nuts, honey, fruit) to eggs, and mix with a spoon.

3. Oil a 9x13 or smaller shallow glass (or use your preference) pan, spread coconut mixture evenly in pan. It's okay if it doesn't reach the sides of the pan.

4. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Fruit that works really well: raisins, blueberries or strawberries.
• This is a fun and easy recipe to make with children.
• Alternative: Try putting balls of coconut mixture on a greased cookie sheet for macaroons. Cooking time may be reduced, watch closely.
• Fruit is hot!
• Once tasted, it goes fast!
