A good rule of thumb to follow when baking with coconut flour is remembering that 1 cup of all-purpose or wheat flour is the equivalent to ⅓ cup of coconut flour. Our naturally grain free and gluten free flour substitute is absorbs more liquid easier than other flours so it’s important to use a recipe that specifically calls for coconut flour.

The result is a gluten free flour alternative that is loaded with fiber, approximately 28% of the daily value per serving!
In the case that you have to modify a recipe that doesn’t use coconut flour, be sure to add more liquids, an additional egg or simply just use less flour to ensure that your bake goods have a pleasant and desirable consistency.
