Coconut rock buns also known as coconut rock cake or coconut drops is a very delicious coconut snack that you will never get enough of. It can be enjoyed as a snack or as a meal with milk or juice. I usually make these for my kids to take to school and they really love it.

• Preheat oven to 320 degrees F/ 160 degrees C
• Line pan with parchment paper or grease pan with oil or butter
• In a large bowl, sift flour, add baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and sift together. Then mix to combine.
• Add butter to flour and massage it into the flour until it is properly combined.
• Add brown sugar and mix to combine.
• Add coconut flakes, mix to combine. Then set aside.
• In another bowl, crack and whisk 2 room temperature eggs, then add to the dry mixture (bowl of flour).
• Add vanilla extract and milk gradually to form a dense consistency.
• Scoop batter on the lined pan, space them apart to give them room to rise. Optional you can smooth the batter with the back of a spoon dipped in water to form a rounder shape. The water prevents the batter from sticking to the spoon.
• Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes.
• Spread and cool them on a wire rack
