Coconut Flour

Coconut flour can be a pricey item, especially when you use it as much as I do. Coconut flour is a great flour to use if you follow a grain free or gluten free diet. It is high in fiber, has a slight sweetness to it and taste really great. You do not substitute coconut flour one for one in recipes and there are a few adaptations to consider when cooking with coconut flour. You can read my article How to Cook with Organic Coconut Flour: Substitutions, Tips & Strategies to read more. Coconut flour really is a great flour to cook with!

You might be surprised how easy it is to make your own coconut flour. In this video, I will show you how to make your own coconut flour.

Please remove the drumbeat in the background. It is very distracting and makes the audio difficult to hear.

@AddieDupreOld I got your message on the last video thank you. It is hard to please everyone, and I am sorry that you find this distracting. I have toned it down in my newer videos. Thanks for the feedback.

My coconut tastes almost soapy - did I just get a bad coconut - if not - is there anything I can do to make it taste better? I bought a typical brown coconut - should I buy one that is more white? Thanks

@LisaBrewerCanter Oh no Lisa...it should not taste soapy at all :( Sounds to me like you got a bad coconut. The brown one is fine to use...the white ones are younger and can be difficult to get the meat out. Be sure to shake the coconut and listen to hear the water inside. Inspect the whole coconut to make sure there are no cracks. I would try another one maybe from another grocery store.

@hallecottis wow - I went and tried with another coconut and am happy to say it was night and day. I had bought two bad ones in a row and so did'nt know if I just wasn't getting it. I just made some milk - which tastes AMAZING and am dehydrating the flakes for flour and butter. Can't wait!! Thanks so much. I doubt I will ever buy Coconut milk again.

@LisaBrewerCanter Oh Lisa I am so happy you found a good coconut!! I know what you mean about canned coconut milk vs fresh coconut milk, there is no comparison. Homemade is so much better. Can't wait to see how the dehydrated coconut, flour and butter turn out for you :)
