coconut flour- soy flour

[Tired of Chub]

Has anyone used coconut flour before? I found some at a natural grocery that I rarely visit and of course figured Id have to give it a shot.

Also had some soy flour that I grabbed as well.


Has anyone used either? have any ideas that would work for a Legumes Rung gal?

Re: coconut flour- soy flour

I've used soy and the finished product tastes like soy. But my taste buds are super-sensitive, so it might not bother you as much.

As for coconut flour, never used it and probably won't because I'm not a big fan of coconut either.

I am bumping this .I have used this in the past ..but it has been ages and I found a really cheap source for coconut flour and want to use it ..soooooo anyone use it yet??? have any good recipes???

...I am thinking cake or bread to start....I figured I would just go at it like a the almond pound cake recipe Jen has and use the coconut flour instead....

I love coconut so I am excited to try this again.....

I've never even SEEN coconut flour before....are you getting it at some exotic food store Heidi??

I love coconut--the meat, the milk, the oil--does the flour have that same coconutty flavor? I would imagine it would make an excellent breading...maybe tempura shrimp? Or excellent in cakes if it has that flavor.

Re: coconut flour- soy flour

Ok I just did this and it tasted good going in so we will see
yes it tastes like coconut!!! really good I am so excited ..and yes I bought it at an Indian market a huge bag for like 2 bucks!!!

3 eggs
grated zest of one lemon
4 packages of Splenda
1 scraped vanilla bean
1 cup sour cream
2 cups coconut flour (it is kind of dry compared to grated coconut actually)
and 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts)
pressed it all into a pan and am baking it now ...omg it smells like heaven in here!!!

I will let you know how this comes out

you can buy coconut flour online but it seemed kind of pricey to me ....I have as I think I said before put coconut in the blender and made it myself but this feels much more dry to me I think....

That's interesting Heidi, I just saw coconut flour online and was considering buying it. I live near torontos little India neighbourhood so i'm going to check out the grocery stores there for it... I was really curious to see how it would work! Thanks!.

Heidi - I just noticed this thread and your recipe looks great. We have a few 'Asian-type' shops nearby and I shall go looking for coconut flour and try this.

What temp and for how long did you bake it?
