We found this recipe on about because we were looking for some type of sweet dessert on non-cheat days. Shredded coconut (get unsweetened if you make this recipe) is technically not allowed on the slow carb diet, but having two or three a day does not seem to have negatively impacted my diet. And yes, they look like turds (the picture on the about.com website is some other type of cookie, not the haystacks).
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup powdered (not granulated) erythritol
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
artificial sweetener to taste (about 1/2 cup sugar equivalent - zero carb preferred, such as liquid forms of sucralose)
1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
1 to 2 tablespoons of cinnamon (depending on how much you like cinnamon)
Directions:
Melt the coconut oil. In a large bowl, put in all the ingredients. Add the coconut oil, and mix everything together. Use a melon scoop or tablespoon to form the haystacks. The wife sets them in on top of parchment paper in a seal-able plastic container. Put them in the fridge for an hour or two before serving.
That's it! Really easy and really tasty.
