Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • tip 2
    Coconut oil comes in two varieties: virgin and refined. Virgin coconut oil is made using a cold press process and retains more coconut flavor. Refined oil is more processed and is odorless and flavor-free.
  • tip 3
    Melt your coconut oil after you measure it.
  • tip 4
    Walnuts can be substituted for the pecans in this cookie recipe.
