Coconut flour is used in baked goods, as breading for meat, and more, and is popular because it is gluten free.
Coconut flour is made by drying the meat that is leftover after coconut is pressed for its milk. It is gluten and grain free, high in protein, fiber, and fat, and low in carbohydrates. It is also rich in manganese, a nutrient that is critical for many processes and functions within the body (learn more).
While it a great flour for muffins, pancakes, pizza crust, and more, it can be challenging to use. We recommend following recipes, especially if you’ve never used it before.
Coconut flour can soak up a lot of liquid, sometimes making baked goods taste dry. It is recommended to add plenty of eggs to counteract this. It is also helpful to sift the flour to avoid a gritty texture.
