Hi guys!! I'm back to trying to get my diet back on a more paleo/primal level and have been going through some of my favorite sites for snack and meal ideas that I can make ahead once a week and take with me to work so I can resist the vending machine and fast food stops. There are tonnes of recipes out there that I can't wait to try but some of the ones that I really want (trail mix bars, "muffins", and other baked type goods) call for coconut in some form or another most particularly coconut oil. The problem with this is that I'm allergic to coconut. I know I can swap out coconut flakes for raisins, slivered, nuts, and other dry things but it's really the coconut oil that's the problem since a quick internet search hasn't really been helpful. So the question is does anyone have any suggestions on substitutions for coconut oil, coconut flour and coconut sugar? I'd really like to make some of these treats so that I don't constantly crave the chocolate bar or box of Nerds! Thanks in advance!!
