Sam's Club now has certified gluten free coconut flour! So I now have a 5 lb bag! What are your favorite ways to use it?

My favorite cupcake and carrot cake recipe.   I got the recipe from a friend who follows a Paleo diet and they have been the best I have tried.    Now I might have to go home and make some... :D

Coconut flour is VERY different from any other kind of flour! Don't try to substitute it for other flour in a recipe because it's so different that the recipe needs to be adjusted a lot. Coconut flour soaks up a ton of moisture. Typically you use a small amount of coconut flour and lots of eggs. Or it's mixed with other flours in a recipe. I tend to follow recipes pretty closely when baking, and especially so when using unfamiliar flours.

That said, I just baked something with coconut flour tonight: plantain biscuits!

Pancakes!

8 eggs (or sub in mashed bananas for some eggs)

1 3/4 c coconut milk

1/4 c coconut oil

1/4 c sprouted chia

1/2 c flax meal

1/4 c hemp seeds

about 1/3 to 1/2 c protein powder (vega chocolate)

dash salt

about 1/2 to 1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

 

These are hearty so I don't feel as guilty when my kids pour syrup on them.  LOL

 

This batter won't pour.  You need to drop it onto the pan and often spread it into a flatter shape. Freeze the extras to heat later in the microwave or toaster oven.

 

Edited to add to recipe: 1/2 c coconut flour.  Thank you Blessed Mommy LOL

I've used it in two recipes by Karina the Gluten Free Goddess - pumpkin cake bars and pumpkin cookies.  Both recipes turned out great!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
