Hi all,
Just wanted to know if anyone has used coconut flour as a Gluten free flour substitute?
I bought an organic 100% coconut flour bag at my health food store and used it in a cake and pancakes so far, it seems to work well. It has 58% fibre and helps boost thyroid, just need to use heaps of eggs and oil with it.
Let me know of your experiences please!

I used it once (along with almond flour) to make some muffins. They were good. I think I found the recipe at WellnessMama. All her recipes are grain-free. Yep, there were 5 eggs in the recipe, and some coconut oil, lol.

I think you can use only 10% in recipes, it's very dense and will take a lot of moisture. I accidentally use too much all the time and then regret it, it gets dry.
I love almond flour for baking, that works great.0
