This didn’t set. I suspect that there is an error in the amount of coconut oil stated in your recipe… ?? 4 TBSP is an awful lot for a single serving. Should it be tsp instead?

Taste is kinda ok but its wayyyyy too greasy. I even had to remove excess oil with a tissue. Followed exact recipe once or twice and always same result.

Wonderful! It didn’t quite hold together, but it made a delicious “plate” for a scoop of ice cream! Next time I’ll use less sugar — a bit too sweet with chocolate chips added.

I followed this recipe exactly and it did not turn out at all. It was like oatmeal soup

Not to nitpick but….The first paragraph states Only 4 ingredients yet I count 7 when I read the recipe?

Hi there! Thanks for catching that! Water and salt are generally not counted as ingredients, and the vanilla extract and chocolate chips are optional. I realized I updated the post to include baking soda after publishing it the first time, as I found the recipe turned out better with it. So indeed, the recipe is five ingredients, not four. 🙂 Appreciate you bringing that to my attention! xo
