Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!
I started cooking with coconut oil about a year ago after I did my first cleanse with the Clean Program and was searching for healthy fat alternatives. Many of my blogger friends talked about how amazing coconut oil was and I decided I would try it. It sounded strange – an oil that is solid at room temp – but the moment I tried it, I was convinced. This was the best oil I had ever tried.
I use coconut oil in almost everything now, but I especially love using it in my baked goods. I’m always trying to make my desserts healthier, so incorporating coconut oil has not only elevated the flavor of my gluten-free treats, but it has also boosted the nutrition content (especially when I use whole-grain flours like quinoa, millet and brown rice).
Here are some of my favorite recipes using coconut oil:
- Coconut Flour Pumpkin Bread
- Grain-Free Halloween Cupcakes
- Gluten-Free Sweet Potato & Pineapple Quinoa Waffles
- Gluten-Free Zucchini Bread
And now for the fun part! My first monthly giveaway, and yes, you guessed it! I’m giving away some coconut oil today!
Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil?
Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online.

I use coconut oil in most of my baking. It is easy to use and works well.
I love coconut oil in baking too! Also love Quinoa…I wish I was the Queen of Quinoa -Lol! Love your recipes and my kids could not get enough of your chocolate halloween cupcakes I made in October!
LUUUUUUV coconut oil!!
Make an awesome stirfry and maybe try to roast some vegetables with it!
I think brownies would be great but I would also use it to fry up some vegetables to cover some cooked quinoa!
I love using Coconut Oil in baking as well as stirfrying veggies & chicken it changes the flavor just a bit and is a delightful light flavor substitution for sesame oil or soy sauce.
I really want to try to make the gluten free zucchini bread. My boyfriend recently discovered that he’s gluten intolerant. We’re trying to figure out yummy bread options since sadly bread is one of his favorite foods. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this bread, so I want to give it a go!
I would use coconut oil to replace butter in our home and also eat a few spoonfuls each day for energy.
Love coconut oil, switched to it a few years ago and would not go back to the other oils for anything. The link to enter is not working, getting the “loading” message but has not loaded in 10 minutes now. Hope it starts working soon.
As soon as I posted my comment the link worked. YAY!
I’d make banana oatmeal cookies. Love coconut oil.
I would use it for making paleo meals! (:

I love using coconut oil for baking, in stir frying veggies and chicken and whipping it up with vitamin E for a creamy lotion! Endless possibilities!!
We use coconut oil every day, it’s so yummy!
Awesome. I never heard of coconut oil. This is worth researching.
I’m thinking I will just try adding coconut oil to my smoothie – I’ve heard that is a good use for it; but I’m sure I’ll learn more ways to use it.
Love coconut oil – would love to win this.
I would probably try your pumpkin bread recipe!

I love using coconut oil in my baking, and it makes excellent popcorn, too. I have dairy allergies, so coconut oil helps me make tender, healthy baked goods.
Definitely makes the BEST popcorn!
I have got rid of all oils except EVOO, EVCO and EVSO (I need a light oil for certain recipes). EVCO goes in absolutely everything I make. I add it to my tea, smoothies, yogurt, stir fries… you name it. Because it’s the oil I use the most, I have to buy it often. It would be nice to get a jar to tide me over until my next gallon tub order!
Hope I win. I’d luv to try it!
i love making chocolates with coconut oil…they are so tasty and healthy!
I love using coconut oil to make pancakes and roasted brussel sprouts

I recently learned to use coconut oil in my baking and I love the difference, especially in gluten-free baked items. It some magical way makes things lighter and fluffier than other oils. If I win, I’ll use the coconut oil to make coconut banana muffins! If I don’t win, I’ll likely make them anyway.
