  (note, since this flour is not soaked to get rid of the phytates, we do not recommend consuming this banana bread frequently)

How Else Can I Use the Coconut Oil?

• Eat it straight from the spoon
• Mix with warm orange juice
• Sautee vegetables with it
• Fry eggs and or hash browns with it
• Use in place of butter or oil in baking – try it in cookies, muffins, pancakes, etc.
• Use for the occasional indulgence in deep-fried foods
• Add it to chili or pasta sauce
• Add it to other sauces
• Use ½ coconut oil and ½ extra virgin olive oil in homemade vinaigrette salad dressings
  
  Another way to consume coconut oil is to use it in the form of Pure Coconut Cream. The Nourishing Planet brand is 70% pure coconut oil, and is delicious with chicken stock (1:2 parts) to make a curry sauce or with just about any type of vegetable.
