These high-protein Breakfast Bite Snacks are ideal for anyone in a hurry in the morning, and everyone else who just wants to enjoy a nutritious snack. They’re carefully crafted to stay firm at room temperature and can be packed in plastic wrap or a container for eating later. Sweet (but not too sweet), chewy and a little crunchy.
One of the featured ingredients is coconut oil:
Unlike olive oil or other popular plant oils like flax, sunflower, or canola, coconut oil is NOT destroyed or changed chemically from its original form by using low heat. The medium chain fatty acids present in coconut oil are very resistant to any change via heat. Even commercial oils heated to a very high temperature have their medium chain fatty acids kept intact. This makes coconut oil one of the best oils to use in cooking and baking, because it does not break down easily. It can be used as a replacement for butter in any recipe, since it often behaves much like butter (solid at room temperature and liquid when hot). It is also wonderful spread it on bread or muffins instead of butter; you can add a dollop to smoothies or hot chocolate; or melt it over cooked vegetables or grains.
