Does anyone have a coconut flour recipe they’ve made and actually like?


Bought a bag of coconut flour a while back because it's lower in carbs and less expensive than almond flour, but nearly every recipe I've tried has come out excessively dry, even when I follow instructions to let the dough rest and absorb moisture prior to cooking, or add extra liquid to try to account for it.

I just tried this recipe for no-egg coconut flour cookies, and even adding multiple extra spoonfuls of water to moisten it up, the cookies were still so crumbly they were falling apart and I nearly choked on one. ^.^;

My only semi-successes have been another redditor's Coconut Flour Fathead Dough and using it in Chaffles with some added sour cream or cream cheese for more moisture.

It would be a bonus if you have any good way to use it that doesn't involve eggs. I know it's standard practice to put about a dozen eggs into any coconut flour recipe to moisten it, but I suspect I might be intolerant of eggs, and they're expensive these days besides.

Any suggestions?

Edit to add: I see the auto-mod about needing to put recipes in the post or comments, but this is honestly just a request and my links to recipes are superfluous. Sorry if it's still not allowed. Let me know and I'll copy and paste them in.

    For the no-egg cookie recipe, I’d try adding heavy cream instead of water. Water just evaporates. Fat content in cream should work better.

    Not really, not on its own. I do a blend of almond/lupin and coconut.

    Is it possible to make pasta with coconut flour?

    Coconut flour can absorb a seemingly unlimited amount of moisture especially if you let the dough sit for any amount of time the moisture just disappears so you kind of have to form it and bake it quickly.

    I almost always use coconut flour as well as almond flour in a recipe because they balance each other out nicely.

    If you like and miss porridge or oatmeal you can make a good warm cereal with coconut flour. I don’t remember the ratios but I used to make it with heavy cream and water then add cinnamon and keto brown sugar or keto honey or a small handful of blueberries

    One thing that helps the texture of coconut flour is to toast it. I do it on the stove in a dry pan, medium heat, stirring constantly, it doesn’t take long.
