Notes
You can use refined or unrefined coconut oil in this recipe. It comes down to preference: if you’re not a fan of coconut flavor use refined coconut oil. If you like the subtle flavor of coconut, use unrefined coconut oil.
I prefer melting the coconut oil and letting it cool to room temperature vs. using solid coconut oil. I think it's easier to measure and mix that way.
