Coconut Crumbles Recipe

Coconut Crumbles Recipe
Only one word - amazing. The combination of flavors and textures is incredible.

Ingredients

1/2 c. salted butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. shredded coconut, sweetened
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. lime zest

Directions

Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Cream butter and brown sugar. Add in flour and baking powder. Mix in oats and coconut. Mixture will be somewhat dry and sandy. Combine condensed milk with lime juice and zest.
Put 2 cups of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Pour condensed milk mixture on top and spread evenly. Crumble all remaining oat mixture over the top of the lime mixture, covering it completely. Bake at 350F for 30 min. until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares. The bars can also be chilled in the fridge after cooling.

Delicious Obsessions: Simple Sugar Body Scrub Recipe This simple sugar body scrub recipe is one of my favorite things to make. I always have a jar of it in my shower and use it almost daily. The recipe is so simple and only takes a couple minutes to whip up. You can easily double, triple, etc., this recipe, but I like to make small batches so is stays fresh.

Also, you can make the same scrub using salt instead of sugar, but it’s important to understand that for some people, salt scrubs can be very drying to the skin. If you’re like me and suffer from dry skin, then it’s better to skip the salt and use sugar instead.

1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup sweet almond oil
5-10 drops of essential oil, optional (I really like using vanilla and peppermint)

Mix the sugar and oil together and transfer to a container with a tight sealing lid. Use in the shower to exfoliate dry, itchy skin. I use mine almost daily and have never had any problems. The oil seals in the moisture on your skin and makes it feel silky smooth. (Make sure you wipe down the shower floor with some soap and water after you use it — oily floors and showers don’t mix well!)...
