low cal oats cookies and coconut chocolate muffins.

AFter navarathri, you are flooded with so many coconuts, you absolutely have no idea what to do especially if you are don't use much. from a family that used 2 coconuts in a week we have come to 1 coconut in 15 days, so you can visualize what happens with all the excess.. oh i did distribute a lot,
but again all those people also got coconuts from other people..

SO i grated everthing. one third i roasted in the microwave and freezed for future use. one third i took coconut milk to be used for cooking. one third i used for baking.

two recipes that have come absolutely delicious according to the family. (these days the family does not grumble on the lesser sugar...i hear you..yeah they have got used to it)
