Coconut Flour

Coconut flour is another great low-carb, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. It's made from dried coconut meat and has a mild flavor. You can use it to make bread, cakes, cookies and muffins, although it is not a perfect 1:1 substitute for regular flour. It also absorbs much more liquid, which can result in dry baked goods. A good rule of thumb is to use 1/4 coconut flour per every 1 cup flour + 1 egg. If you're new to baking with it, it's best to find existing recipes that use it.
