This is how you can make coconut taste like bacon (seriously)

You know how some crispy fried bacon is pretty much the most amazing thing in the world?

Like, it make avocados taste 250% better. It goes perfectly with eggs (obvs), and is also the most delicious topping for pancakes, pasta and a whole bunch of other things too. The thing is, bacon is not the healthiest thing you can eat... Which means that for many of us, it becomes a treat to be enjoyed every now and again, and certainly not every day. Or so we thought – until we came across this amazing bacon substitute made from coconut flakes. I KNOW! Coconut flakes! It sounds like all sorts of craziness, but this blogger actually claims it works. Are you curious? What you need: Coconut flakes, soy sauce, maple syrup and liquid smoke (you will find this in a well-stocked supermarket, usually kept near barbeque sauces and marinades, or here on Amazon) What you do: Basically, you mix all of the aforementioned ingredients together, spread them in a thin layer on a lined sheet pan and bake for about 14 minutes. After that, you can use this stuff just as you would normal bacon. Why it’s great: It’s a healthier alternative that tastes incredibly similar to the real thing.
