At the end of term we always like to say a big thank you to the teachers by making them something homemade.
This year I used a recipe from Life Currents that I had originally set aside for number four as it is allergy free; but it seemed something nice and easy for number three to prepare herself.
Coconut Bites
- 200g Shredded Coconut
- 230ml Coconut Oil
- 2tbsp Maple Syrup
- Half tsp Vanilla Extract
- In a saucepan mix together the coconut, coconut oil and the syrup and heat for about 5mins until some oil is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and pack firmly into a 9 by 5 inch loaf tin and refrigerate for around an hour.
- Once hardened remove from the tin and cut into 21 small pieces.
I found some lovely jam jars in our local kitchen suppliers The Art Of Living which were perfect to home our handmade gifts.
Number three then cut a gift tag from some coloured paper and added her own message.
To finish the gift off she tied her gift tag to the jar with some string.
Hopefully her teachers will be pleased with the gifts and have a great summer holiday.
What gifts do you normally chose for your children’s teachers?
These look fantastic – I’m definitely going to try your recipe. We love coconut and this recipe is safe for my kids too. Thanks for linking up #freefromfridays
I’m glad you liked them. They were so quick to prepare too x
Aw you are so nice. I wish I had the energy to do something like that. I’m sure the teachers will really appreciate the effort and thought that went in to that.
Look yummy! I love anything coconut and this jar looks heavenly. Thank you! 🙂
They are really tasty x
