Re: Baking with Coconut Flour

[Guest guest]

No, it doesn't just substitute very well. The recipes with

exclusively coconut flour need lots of eggs for moisture. I really

like the blueberry muffin recipe in Cooking With Coconut Flour, but

it's very different from wheat muffins.

Usually, when coconut flour is used in baking, it's recommended that

10-20% be substituted for other flours used. It's dense, gluten free,

so if using a higher percentage, don't expect the product to be like

baked goods we're used to.
