I surprised my boyfriend with this recipe because he loves coconut. I love it..very yummy. He is asking me to make it again. Thank you for this lovely recipe !
-
Delicious! I made this in the toaster oven--next time I won't use the rack--the coconut got a little too close to the heat! Otherwise this was great.
-
Very Yummy! I added a little more coconut (about a heaping half cup) and two teaspoons of sugar since the coconut I had was organic unsweetened. LOVE that this recipe was baked and not fried. Thanks for posting!!
-
Fabolous! It was easy to prepare. I made mine with oat bran instead of flour coating. I also substituted with wheat breadcrumbs. This is delicious.
-
This is wonderful! Can't get over how good it is. We also just enjoyed the coating mixture on some jumbo shrimp and prepared it the same way - it was fabulous too!
