Coconut flour is uniquely different from wheat flour alternatives. It is naturally low in digestible carbohydrates and contains no gluten. It has fewer carbohydrates than soy or nut flour but is high in fiber and a good source of protein.
Because bulk coconut flour does not contain any gluten, it will fall apart if you use it as a cup-for-cup substitute for regular wheat flour. You can, however, substitute up to 25% (15-20% is best) of that flour with coconut flour. In addition, whatever amount of raw coconut flour you use, you must increase the liquid in your recipe by that same measure.
So, for example, if your recipe calls for 2 cups of wheat flour, you could use 1 ½ cups of wheat flour, ½ cup of organic coconut flour, and ½ cup of additional liquid such as milk, water, or juice. This will increase the fiber content of your food.
