Customer Rating: Summary: AMAZING! Comment: I had heard about the benefits of coconut oil but it wasn't until I came across Elanaspantry.com that I learned about coconut flour. I had to try it and I love using it! I have to eat a low glycemic/ gluten free diet and the coconut flour fits right into that diet! I love making muffins with this flour because I feel like I am eating a treat but they are higher in fiber and protein and don't make feel that weirdness that I use to get when I ate regular sugar/refined carb muffins. You have to use a lot of eggs with Coconut flour so it really bumps up the protein value of anything you are making. My children and husband love the muffins that I make with this and I am excited to venture out and try some other recipes from the site mentioned. Give it a try! One of my friends loved the muffins so much I made that she now is a fan of Coconut Flour even though she doesn't need to eliminate wheat. Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful Comment: Coconut flour is lower in carbs, gluten free, non-allergenic, and bakes very nicely in muffin/bread recipes. I have only begun to experiment, and have baked mini-pumpkin bread loaves with much success. Customer Rating: Summary: Bought 32 Pounds Comment: I bought 32 pounds. Bob's Red Mill doesn't have the occasional gritty and sandy shell specks like another brand.
Coconut flour, which is fairly mild in flavor, is gluten-free, high-fiber, and high-protein. It naturally sweetens dishes even though it's low in carbohydrates - glycemic load of zero. I use this versatile fiber for smoothies, pancakes, muffins, brownies, and pizza crusts. You can also use it to thicken soups and sauces.
Because coconut flour lacks gluten, you have to use many eggs to bind ingredients. However, I reduce the overpowering flavor of the eggs and increase the fat (coconut oil) and fluids because the flour absorbs large amounts of moisture and dries out the products. Blueberry coconut flour muffins taste great and mimic cornbread with a slightly fibrous texture.
Whether you are eating low-carb, diabetic-friendly, gluten-free, or any other diet, you can still use this versatile, virtually non-allergenic coconut flour to boost your fiber intake and add variety to your dishes. My digestive system feels much better with all this coconut flour! I just wish that it was sold in 50-pound sacks!

I substituted 3/4 cup of raspberries instead of blueberries and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
I took frozen raspberries and pinched them between my fingers to easily "chop" the raspberries.
The musffins baked up beautifully and I served them with a bit of cream cheese to the staff of Henna Caravan.
"Delicious" was the consensus and we will continue to eat coconut flour produts.
I can't wait to test more of the recipes.
