I bought a bag of coconut flour and I forgot why I bought it. I'm LOWER carb and a vegetarian. Any ideas on how to use it? (It wasn't cheap). I did use it as a breading for baked zucchini strips but soy flour worked better IMO.
TIA!
TIA!

Every time I try to bake with it, my stuff comes out dry. I'm probably never using enough liquid. Every 1 cup of flour in a recipe use 1/4 coconut flour and double liquid.0

I use a ton of recipes off comfybelly.com and she uses coconut flour quite a bit. She also gives pointers for making flour conversions from all-purpose to coconut.
Good luck!0 -
I use it when I'm making vegan macarons...
pancakes
biscuits (or cookies for you Americans)
coconut crepes are truly amazing - with sugar and lime juice mmmmm
throw it in curries if I looking to thicken them a bit
the possibilities are endless, once you're used to using it, you'll want to have it on hand all the time.0 -

I make something like this only in a mug cake and it's amazing! Pretty much this: ohsnapletseat.com/2013/10/14/5-minute-dessert-paleo-pumpkin-cake-cup/
I don't like having an entire cake in the house, so I make mug cakes so I'm not tempted to overeat.
