Notes

I used coconut flakes for this recipe which is different than shredded coconut. They are larger in size. Either will work and provide the same flavor. But if you prefer the flakes I used Bobs Red Mill Coconut Flakes. I usually find them in the baking aisle by the Bobs Red Mill section or organic aisle.
