I made mine with canned condensed coconut milk and unsweetened shredded coconut and the first tray that went in I had the melting problem too.

I added a little more coconut to the other half that was left, and about 2-3 tbsp cornstarch to help bind – turned down the oven closer to 300 and they came out perfect 🙂 Kept their shape and browned nicely on the bottom.

Delicious! I see that many had problems with them spreading. I used unsweetened desiccated coconut and canned condensed coconut milk and with a pinch of salt. No problems at all.

In reply to Jemma. Hi Jemma, sorry to hear they melted! I don't think the coconut condensed milk would be to blame, though it could be that if the mix was a bit too wet then they wouldn't hold their shape as well. You can combat this by adding more dessicated coconut to make the mix quite dry and also by placing them into the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes to set more before baking. It can also be an issue of over-baking, ovens can differ a lot, it could be that they needed a shorter baking time.

Hi! My name is Jemma, and I’m 11 years old. My issue with these is that they pretty much melted in the oven. Do you think it had something to do with the fact that I used coconut condensed milk? I also had a little less milk than needed. Otherwise, great recipe!

In reply to Deborah. Hi Deborah, hope they still worked out okay in the end. What condensed milk did you use?

These are in the oven now, going on 30 minutes. I could not get the “batter” to stick together, it was super crumbly. I didn’t want to waste it so I tried adding a little coconut oil, still crumbly. I put it in a food processor and added bits of almond milk until it stuck together. After 20 minutes in the oven it still felt a little damp, certainly not brown so I gave it another 5 minutes and then another 5 minutes. We shall see oh, I am hopeful. Wonder what I might have done for it to turn out so crumbly and dry? And what I should have added to it to salvage it?
