Ever done some baking with coconut flour? If you have, you know it is quite magical. A little goes a very long way, and it can convert baked goods, sauces, and bread into something extremely delicious.

I’ve been using coconut flour in tons of my recipes since I started a keto diet. Using this flour has allowed me to enjoy desserts, bread, and other baked goods again. I also love using it to make treats for my friends and family who follow a gluten free diet!

What is coconut flour?

Coconut flour is a grain free flour that is made from dried coconut meat. It’s blended into a flour-like consistency and has multiple uses.

This particular flour differs from other baking flours, due to its nutritional profile. Coconut flour is high in fiber, low in carbs, and has moderate amounts of protein. Its low moisture content makes it a fantastic option for baking cookies, cakes, muffins, and other desserts, or used to thicken sauces, soups, and gravies.

Coconut flour is a staple ingredient in keto recipes, as it contains just 2 grams net carbs per 1/4 cup serving!

Benefits of using coconut flour

• High fiber– Compared to other flours, coconut flour takes the cake in terms of fiber. Each 2 tablespoon serving packs in 6 grams of fiber!
• Low carb– Coconut flour is popular in keto recipes due to its low carb count.
• High protein– No other flour out there naturally contains protein. There are 2 grams of protein per 2 tablespoon serving of coconut flour!

The best part about coconut flour is that it is available in almost every grocery store. If you can’t find it, you can easily make your own!

How do you make coconut flour?

The Ingredients

• Fresh coconut meat– The white flesh from a fresh coconut. You can use the fresh coconut juice for a smoothie!
• Boiled water– To blend the coconut into a finer consistency.

The Instructions

Start by adding the coconut meat into a high-speed blender. Add the boiled water and blend for 2-3 minutes, until no large chunks remain and the pulp is mostly smooth. Next, let the mixture cool for 5 minutes, before straining it through a cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess liquid (use it for a coconut milk smoothie).

Now, place the coconut pulp onto a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake on very low heat for 40-45 minutes, until the pulp is completely dry. Finally, transfer the dried coconut pulp into a blender. Blend for 2-3 minutes, until a flour-like consistency remains.

How long can you keep coconut flour?

• To store: Coconut flour can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Be sure to gently shake up the flour before using it, as it can clump up.
• To freeze: I don’t recommend freezing coconut flour as it can become rancid once thawed out.

What can you make with coconut flour?

Coconut flour can be used in sweet or savory recipes. You can also save time by simply buying a bag of coconut flour instead of making your own (but I like the convenience of making my own coconut milk).
