Paleo Coconut Nests

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8 ounce bag of unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 Tbsp. raw honey
  • 1 Tbsp. maple sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels
  • Dark chocolate non-GMO eggs for topping

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating the oven to 300 degrees F and greasing a mini muffin tin with coconut oil. 
  2. Add the egg whites, raw honey, maple sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk. 
  3. Add the shredded coconut and mix well. 
  4. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the coconut mixture into the greased muffin tins filling them all the way. 
  5. Using your thumb, make an indent in the center to create a "nest."
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown. Check at the 10 and 15-minute mark to be sure they aren't browning too quickly. 
  7. Allow the nests to cool, and then using a knife, loosen them from the muffin tins. 
  8. Melt the dark chocolate morsels in a stockpot over low heat, and scoop about 1 tsp. worth into the center of the nests. Allow the chocolate to set for about 10 minutes. 
  9. Top with the dark chocolate eggs. 
  10. Store in a glass jar in a cool and dry place.
