Add the melted coconut oil molasses, maple syrup, and blend properly.

Press and blend till the combination varieties considerably of a dough. The combination can be considerably sticky, however it would stiffen when you refrigerate it. Refrigerate for no less than 20-Half-hour, then carry it collectively and press and knead for 15 seconds.

Place the dough between two items of parchment paper, and roll it out into an evenly skinny oval, or circle, or rectangle.

Bake at 315 levels F for 11-12 minutes.
