Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 www.elenaspantry.com has quite a few coconut flour recipes, although I haven't tried any personally.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Coconut flour has lots of protein. Not many carbs. It doesn't have any " stickiness " , though.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Coconut flour is actually high in protein. Like you suggested, Clara, I use it in limited amounts in combination with other gf flours in vegan baked goods, and like Jae said, I use it in foods where I don't mind a sweet taste. I do like it, though. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 18, 2010, at 1:07 PM, " Clara I.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Also yummy in cupcake frostings (from Erin McKenna's cookbooks). Boosts the protein. She uses coconut oil for the fats in her recipes. I've heard coconut products are helpful for those with thyroid issues. ________________________________ Sally Parrott Ashbrook <sally.parrott " " Thu, February 18, 2010 8:13:22 PM Re: Coconut flour  Coconut flour is actually high in protein.

Lungs need healthy saturated fats, and coconut fits the bill. Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
