- 1/4 cup unsweetened dried coconut

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking sheet.*
- Grind chia seeds and mix with 3 tbs water. Set aside to thicken.
- Place the kumquats and dates into a food processor and run until chopped into small bits.
- Add in the bananas and chia gel and run until smooth.( It will be a bit chunky but no worries!)

- Place into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove, flip, and bake for another 12 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes and serve with almond milk.
Notes
Foil does not work unless you oil it, so I suggest using parchment or a silpat!
