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

Mine is recently since my  use of it has been Apple muffins with walnuts.  Honestly the best ones I have ever had before.

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

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
