Does anyone know what to do with coconut flour? I heard about it from a friend as a new flour that we can use, but I'm not real sure what to do with it. I would love some help!

Sorry I can't be of help, I guess no one else knows what to do with Coconut Flour either. If you find out, you should let us know. Good luck!

Here is a link to some recipes. I was pretty intrigued - if I find any coconut flour, I'll definitely get some.

Doing a Google search I only found the same ones Stephanie found.

My guess is that it has a natural coconut flavor to it (like unprocessed coconut oil) and would be best used in baked goods that are meant to be sweet. I may be wrong but the only way to find out is to try some. I see it's being promoted as being low carb, but I forgot to check the fats and calories, which are equally important to some of us.

But yes, please post the results anyone, if you try it...we're all curious.

According to the nutrition facts I found, Coconut flour is very high in fat... 58% calories from fat. Or about 12g fat per cup!

In comparison, rice flour is 3% fat which is 2g fat per cup.

Might be best to use in combo with other flours....

Thanks for the help! I have heard that there is a de-fatted version available, which is much lower in fat and high in fiber. If I find out any more info I will let everyone know. I was just so intrigued as it opens up a few more possibilities!

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
