# 9 Coconut Flatbread

Super foods, wonder foods, miracle foods. Foods that have many beneficial effects/uses are often called with these names, and coconut products for sure belong to these categories. Of course you should enjoy all the coconut products, like extra virgin coconut oil, coconut flour, coconut water as natural as possible to get all the health benefits. Processed coconut products won't have any of the health benefits left and the added, often harmful chemicals will just add up to the chemical load the body needs to get rid of daily. Those who have sulphite/sulfite issues know how hard it can be to find safe sulphite/sulfite free foods and all coconut products belong to this category. When I started my sulphite/sulfite elimination journey I did a lot of research about safe foods in the web, and all coconut products were always in the avoid list. Luckily this is not true. You can find everything made of coconuts also sulphite/sulfite free. Check the words unsulfured, no sulphites added and you are safe. Call or e-mail to the manufacturer and they will get you more prompt answers if you need. Anything under 10 ppm and sulphites doesn't need to be labelled, but from experience I can say that even trace amounts of sulphites can give reactions to those who are really sensitive to them.
Always remember though that you can be allergic to anything, so if coconuts gives you reaction no matter what, you might have an allergy/intolerance or you might have parasites. Yes. You read right. Coconuts have some antiparasitic properties and if you get weird symptoms after eating coconut products and you don't have any known allergies/intolerances you might have parasites.

Among my family and friends I have noticed that you either like or dislike anything with coconuts. And if you belong to the latter group I suggest you to skip this recipe, since these flatbreads are full of coconuts. But for coconut lovers these flatbreads will bring you the great flavour of coconuts.

Intermediate 1 for sulphite/sulfite issues. Unsulfured coconut products are safe for most, but check that the label says unsulfured coconut. Many people will also react to the small amounts of trace sulphites/sulfites and those under 10 ppm aren't often labelled. 

Coconut Flatbreads, makes 34 small ones

2 dl or 3/4 cups + 2 Tbsp. of Coconut macaroon, unsweetened, unsulfured
1 1/2 dl or 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. of Brown rice flour
1 dl or 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. of Coconut flour
1 dl or 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. of Millet flour
2 Tbsp. of Chia seeds
1 tsp. of Himalaya salt
4 dl or 1 3/4 cups of Water
3 Tbsp. of Extra virgin coconut oil

Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl well and add the water and the coconut oil. You should have a thicker mixture than in previous flatbread recipes.
Cover the baking tray with a good quality baking paper. Take about one heaping teaspoon of the mixture and make small balls in your hands. Put the small balls on the baking paper like in the picture and pat the balls flat, about 0,5 cm high. 

Bake in the oven 180 C or 350 F, about 12-15 minutes.

The coconut flatbreads will keep well about one week in the fridge and for longer in the freezer.

I like to eat these flatbreads a bit more crispier and I simply reheat them in the 180 C or 350 F oven for about 2-3 minutes or you can use the small oven grill.

You can serve these flatbreads as a tea time treats with various jams, here I have some raspberry jam and halva. And I made some kiwi-puree simply mashing some ripe peeled kiwis and added some coconut oil in it. I chilled the kiwi-coconut butter in the fridge before serving it with the coconut flatbreads. You can also serve these coconut flatbreads with aged cheese or any nut butter you like. 

Enjoy!
