Baking With Coconut Flour

[Mango04]

Does anyone else bake with coconut flour?

The coconut banana muffins I made yesterday (recipe below) turned out really well, so...I'd like to make more stuff with it Does anyone have any recipes? I can't find many online, and I would hate to experiment with it too much on my own, since it's such an odd flour in the sense that it expands and absorbs so much liquid.

Thanks

(I used 2 extra tbsp of coconut oil in place of the butter, and rice milk, to make them dairy-free)

I make up my own recipes with coconut flour. Sometimes I cut the coconut flour with rice bran, that works really nicely too. I make a thing called a "Bowl Muffin" which is a muffin you microwave in a bowl and also I've been making coffee cake with coconut flour and rice bran. I can get you the links if you want them. I've found the dough has to be pretty wet to rise well because the coconut flour is so absorbent.
