Substitution

Coconut Flour may look similar to wheat flour, but neither smells, tastes, or acts like it when baking. Due to its highly absorbent and dry texture, coconut flour can also be used as a thickener for gravies, stews, or frostings.

While it is a good alternative to wheat flours, it is not an equal substitute. It is recommended to use 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every cup of wheat flour as well to add an 1 egg. The egg (or egg substitute) is the best way to counteract any dryness that may occur from the flour being highly absorbent in nature; the protein in the egg white helps provide structure while the yolk provides moisture.

Bakers also recommend sifting coconut flour before adding to recipes to avoid a gritty texture and for easier blending into other ingredients.

Foods rich in fiber, such as coconut flour, help regulate blood sugar levels and benefit digestion. This is because it has soluble fiber which helps to move food smoothly through the gut.

Coconut flour is also exceptionally rich in manganese, an essential nutrient that is critical for many functions within the body. It supports bone health, helps the body better use other nutrients, and acts as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrient.

Suggested Uses

Use it as a substitute for wheat flour when making muffins, pancakes, cookies or other baked goods. Use as a thickener in sauces, gravies, or frostings.

Coconut flour carries the sweet and nutty flavor of coconut, so if you prefer your baked goods not to taste like coconut, try adding stronger flavors into the mixture like cacao, onion, or garlic.
