Introduction

These came out a little too gooey, and the coconut oil has a slightly weird, but not bad, aftertaste.
After eating these up, I'm going to try using less fat and subbing butter or vegetable oil for half of it (Maybe 2T coconut oil 2T butter).
Or just more dry ingredients in general - more puffed grains (maybe wheat and/or kamut).
