Cooking with Coconut Oil – 8 Recipes to Try

Cooking with Coconut Oil - Recipes to Try

That coconut oil has health benefits is not new news. Even so, I have not embraced it in cooking as much as I would expect. I tend to stick with the more familiar fats – butter, olive oil and canola oil (organic as much as possible!), simply because I know what works for me and what I read most often in recipes.

Lately, I’ve been on a mission to use more coconut oil in cooking and baking. I’ve found that coconut oil is wonderful for roasted veggies, is a no-brainer with curries, and of course coconut + chocolate has got to be one of the most perfect food combos ever!

I may receive commissions from purchases made through links in this article. Full Disclosure

Are you interested in upping your coconut oil intake too? Here’s a little inspiration for us! I’ve hoping to work my way through this list of recipes during the next month or two. I’ll let you know my favorites via my Facebook page, when I make them. (FYI – Thrive Market is one of the most affordable places to buy organic, virgin coconut oil – check out their private label coconut oil here.

      Really, your cat eats it? How interesting! I remember giving Vaseline to my family cat to stop hair balls. I bet coconut oil is good for that!

    I just bought a big jar of organic coconut oil with the intention of using it more so these ideas are timely! Thanks!

    Yum! I like to use coconut oil in all kinds of recipes. I use it in place of other oils for baking and cooking. If it’s medium high heat I use refined.
