Coconut snacks are energizing, tasty and nutritious.
As you may already know, we love all things coconut at CNS CONFECTIONERY Products. Both our family and our wholesale coconut buyers enjoy using coconut for both savory and sweet recipes. That’s just one of the many reasons it’s one of the best toppings to purchase wholesale, in bulk. In this article we’re going to have a look at some of our favorite snacks made with coconut.
Almond, Coconut & Chocolate Muffins
Yum, this one really makes one’s mouth water! If you have the time to make muffins, we’d recommend going for these. Double up on the recipe and freeze a nice amount so you have a secret stash whenever you need them later on in the month.
Ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter (vegan butter is also an option)
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (gluten-free flour works here)
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (sugar alternatives like coconut sugar is also a great option)

- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
