30 Mindblowing Paleo Recipes Using Coconut Oil
Chelsea S. • October 18, 2014

As someone who follows the paleo diet the vast majority of the time, coconut oil is a true staple in my pantry. It’s so incredibly versatile! I use it to sauté veggies, grease baking pans and have coconut oil for breakfast when I blend it in my morning coffee.

You can use coconut oil in such a wide variety of recipes. Below, you will find recipes for coconut oil snacks, coconut oil candy, coconut oil desserts and more. And that’s not even half of the amazing things you can do with coconut oil.

Each recipe in this compilation features coconut oil in some way, shape or form. I picked a wide variety of recipes – sweet and savory! Even if you don’t eat paleo, check them out! There’s bound to be a delectable recipe you’re willing to try!
