½ cup Coconut Oil

Direction:

• If the coconut oil is solid, melt it and cool to room temperature. ”These recipes require the coconut oil to be in liquid form for thorough mixing,” explains Pelletier. “The easiest way to melt coconut oil is in a saucepan, at low heat. Keeping stirring while it is heating until it’s just melted, and take off the heat to cool to room temperature. As oils are heated their healing properties change, so the less heat used, the better.” If you must microwave, heat for 10 seconds at a time until liquefied.
• Zest the lemons, then leave the zest to dry for 1 to 2 hours. 
• If you don’t have a zester, carefully remove the lemon peel with a vegetable peeler and then mince the peel with a knife. 
• In a bowl, mix poppy seeds, sugar, cornmeal, vanilla, and lemon zest. 
• Pour the oil over the ingredients and mix to combine. 
• Store in a sealed jar.
