Do you use this 2nd Coconut Oil way? Do you heat Coconut Oil?
Learn more about this 2nd Coconut Oil Way – heat Coconut Oil for everyday eating.
Do you bake or cook with Coconut Oil? Then you may value this tip on keeping your Oil safe while heating. Why? Because Virgin Coconut Oil stays stable* as long as it is not smoking. The recognised smoke point is
Did you know you can safely heat Virgin Coconut Oil while baking?
Why I chose to highlight this tip about heating your Oil
Heating Coconut Oil is the 2nd Coconut Oil Way. I Like to see Virgin Coconut Oil used in frying, cooking, and baking. In our house when the bread is baked, we use Virgin Coconut Oil for fat. Yes, we heat the oil as the bread or another food is heated. We have used it for scones too. But I am also very aware that Raw Organic Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil is a precious oil, and needs to be treated with respect so that it does not lose essential acids, vitamins and the phytonutrients associated with its taste and smell.
A simple recipe that uses heated Virgin Coconut Oil
High Fat Weight Loss Muesli – Virgin Coconut Oil tends to make you feel full sooner and for longer.
When you heat Virgin Coconut Oil will it reset the same?
The short answer is yes. If you let Virgin Coconut Oil heat up in a room, with room temperature you will see it go solid again when the temperature drops again. The same applies to oil heated to a higher temperature as well. The main things that will change is the taste of the oil IF you heat it to smoke point, and it starts to burn.up with food that was hot when it was supposed to be hot*. So if I were buying White Gold or Ancient Wisdom Virgin Coconut Oil I’d expect a similar taste each time I tasted it. For that very reason, I thought I’d suggest that you consider keeping your Oil cool.
Some people say that the taste of White Gold or Ancient Wisdom brands may alter slightly if they are heated up and cooled down repeatedly. I have not found that to be the case on a consistent basis. But I am not saying it couldn’t happen. It is worth trying in a controlled environment, where the rise and fall in temperatures are recorded, and at what temperature it is tasted at.
Are there reasons to not heat Raw Organic Virgin Coconut Oil?
We’ve already stated that burned Oil is not a good taste, and in fact, may reduce the peripheral benefits of Raw edible Oils. We’ve also pointed to the fact that some people think it alters the taste afterwards, but I personally don’t put as much weight on that concern as I do the idea of cooling the oil to improve the taste on the tongue. that is not an up with food that was hot when it was supposed to be hot*. So if I were buying White Gold or Ancient Wisdom Virgin Coconut Oil I’d expect a similar taste each time I tasted it. For that very reason, I thought I’d suggest that you consider keeping your Oil cool.
I can’t think of any pressing reason not to heat your oil in moderation after it is has been created as a Virgin Coconut Oil.
Is any heating method as good as another?
Now we come to the really interesting question about this 2nd Coconut Oil Way. The short answer is when the Coconut Oil is treated with respect, all the benefits will remain in place as long as there is no smoke rising off the oil.
I am not a fan of microwaves. I have heated Virgin Coconut Oil in pans, pots, and the sun, and of course on my skin, and inside my mouth.
What volume of Coconut Oil replaces another oil or fat in recipes?
1:1. Just replace solid fat with the same amount of solid Coconut Oil. Replace liquid oil with the same amount of liquid Coconut Oil. Make sure you know if you recipe is dealing with solid or melted Coconut Oil!

A sweet, refined sugar free tea cake for Autumn.
Nicola Galloway of Home Grown Kitchen blog says, “Rooibos Tea, or Red Bush Tea pairs perfectly with the intense sweetness of persimmons.
The Smith Family of this Coconut Resort blog have a long standing love of Rooibos Tea, a product we learnt about in Japan, of all places. The Red Bush is only grown in one part of South Africa.
I also first learnt about Persimmon as a fruit from Japan. Apparently the most widely cultivated Persimmon is the Japanese “Kaki” variety.
So to see the Coconut Oil Persimmon Rooibos Tea Cake recipe with the Japanese fruit persimmon and the tea we learnt about from Japan is interesting to me.
Persimmon and Rooibos Tea could combine to make a refined sugar free option for next year’s Mother’s Day afternoon tea.
The most popular tea cake in New Zealand is possibly the Blueberry Tea Cake. The recipe above could be done with a number of tea and firm fruit combinations.
Don’t feel restricted in what fruit you may use. Any firm fruit, be it plum, Granny Smith Apples, etc. may work with different tea options. Even Green Tea.

It’s easy to rattle off a list of things that can done with Coconut Oil. But some of those things may require a little bit of thinking and experience. Kale Coconut Oil Chips is one of them.
The skill in successfully making this vegetable into a potatoe chip alternative is finding the balance between burnt edges and soggy Kale leaves.
Angela Liddon – Scientist turned Recipe Book Author
Thankfully Angela Liddon, a scientist who turned to experimenting with plant based recipes has done some research into this matter for us. If you follow the tips found on her blog posts your leaves will be baked. But they won’t be burned.
The first time Angela day after created these vegetable chips she thought, “Should they taste burnt like this??”
6 tips for better Kale Chips
Since that first experiment she has come up with 6 tips for Flawless Kale Chips.
Remove the stems and tear leaves into large pieces
Wash thoroughly and dry the leaves before beginning
Don’t skip the oil, but don’t drench it in oil either
Spread kale onto a single layer on the baking sheet
It’s all about the low heat for even baking
Cool for just a few minutes on the baking sheet
It’s important for the leaves to dry after being washed. No-one wants to eat grit with their chips. Dry leaves at the start create a better result in the end.
Below you’ll see a before and after photo of the leaves.
What motivated me to post about this topic?
This Facebook post has been very popular with our readers!
One of our customers offered this excellent advice.

Are you looking for a way to use Butter Milk and Bananas? Butter Milk Banana Bread may be just the trick you need. If you haven’t thought of it before you’d probably agree it could be fun. Let’s add some Coconut Oil and see what happens then.
Switching fats to Coconut Oil does not compromise the taste or texture. A remember a person who worked in the food industry telling an audience of people the reason why restaurant food tastes so amazing is because they use real butter.
Si, from A Bountiful Kitchen blog says that sometimes when you switch fat in a recipe it can mean you have less flavour and the texture is not as great. But as far as this recipe is concerned it she feels that is not the case. Certainly at home we always use Solid Coconut Oil in our home made bread, and it doesn’t make it taste too Coconut in flavour.
In this recipe, we’d say the banana flavour would certainly mask many other flavours anyway.

Why did Julia and Libby add Coconut Oil to their NZ Manuka Honey with LSA Muesli Bars recipe?
“We added coconut oil to the bars as this good fat will keep you feeling full for longer and helps to solidify the bars.”
The Matthews sisters, Julia and Libby have been hard at work both professionally and in exercise training. This recipe will certainly come in handy for a busy lifestyle. In the introduction to this post on their Facebook page they also have this to say.
“We have created some muesli bars that can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack and are very simple to make. The bars are made using the new Sanitarium Cereals#OptionsMuesli , along with LSA or flaxseed meal and eggs as the base and are sweetened with cinnamon and manuka honey.”

Some people won’t use this recipe because it involves using eggs. Chia seeds are the alternative to eggs in baking. But that consideration is beyond the scope of this recipe.
I trust that this has been a helpful, and I look forward to providing more recipes and updating existing ones as time goes by. On the day this recipe was posted a variation of the Coconut Berry Smoothie recipe was added, with an extra video.

Another creamy delight for you to try. Got some Coconut Threads (shreds)? In the last post I said, “I for one just love to have Coconut Dry Goods every single morning!” Nothing has changed in a week…expect this week it is shredded Coconut Threads!
Also, last week I got carried away with milk links. And this week I could be tempted to do the same. Coconut Threads (shredded Coconut) is one of the 4 ingredients in this recipe. I promised to post about a dairy-free Cottage Cheese recipe soon.
The Real California Milk website is fascinating and very entertaining! You’ve got to visit it on a internet fast connection.
That is why I made sure we kept that link it there. If you are in the USA, and you’re reading, we mean business over there too. But we starting on a small scale with one product only.

Of course we have our own great dairy stories too.
See the Fonterra video. A lot of the shots from this video are from Darfield factory, which is 15 minutes drive from here.
The story of Westland Dairy starts in 1868. When I was a child, it was mostly known as a regional milk provider, and a great source for Ice Cream. Oh how times have changed.
