Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add the milk and dates to the blender and blend until it’s mixed well.

Add the water and chia seeds to a small bowl, mix, and let it sit for one minute.

Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl.

Pour milk, and chia seed mixtures into the large bowl and mix everything together well.

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill about 3/4 of the way full.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

Notes:
-If you do not have coconut butter, you could substitute with coconut oil or vegan or regular butter.
-I use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free rolled oats, and quick cooking oats, and So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk.
-Use an organic shredded coconut, or Bob’s Red Mill brand. Many others have additives and preservatives in them.
