Ingredients
- 3 cups (less 2 tablespoons) fine cornmeal (white)
- 1 small coconut grated
- 1½ cups raisins chopped
- ½ cups mixed fruits
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 large eggs (or 4 small eggs)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed flour
Instructions
- Boil raisins in coconut milk and butter in a pot. Once cool add eggs.
- In another deep bowl, mix together cornmeal, flaxseed flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the soften raisins to the cornmeal.
- Mix well. You may have to mix with your hands. Add mixed fruits. Add the milk, a bit at a time until you get a soft dough. The dough should not be too lose. Cornmeal tends to be a bit stiff and it holds up well on its own. For this reason it makes perfect coconut drops.
- Next, drop about 1/4 cup of the dough on to a lined and well-greased baking tray. Place them about 1 inch apart.
- Note: Do not shape the dough too much.
- Finally, bake the drops at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
