- Drizzle the remaining date syrup on top of the baked Samoas Baked Oates and sprinkle with the remainder of the shredded coconut.

Notes
**The coconut sugar is optional. I have made it without any added sugar as well, and I think it is sweet enough with the date syrup added on top. However, you can also add more coconut sugar if you prefer a sweeter result as well. Add a few extra tablespoons of coconut sugar.
