Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a little coconut oil.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the coconut flour to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the coconut flour mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining coconut oil over low heat. Add the shredded coconut and gently toast it until golden brown, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut evenly over the top of the coconut flour mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the biko is set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Paleo Biko.
