Gidday from down in this corner of the globe,

I'm new to the forum greatly interested in grain free diet styles for all manner of health reasons.

I'm a Kiwi importer exporter - just left a post on coconut flour in the new business section.

I'll have this available in a couple of weeks or so along with a chunk of information on how to use, how to cook, bake incorporate it into everyday living as I've done with my family in the last 8 months

Really keen to raise peoples awareness of what this product can do 'for those with celiac , diabetes and obesity issues.

Also for those wanting to get off the grain train and just enjoy a more healthy lifestyle.

Very keen to hear from people who have used this already and how they have found it?  I'm keen to hear on what people would find interesting or instructive about this flour too.

I look forward to your responses.

Cheers

Ian

New Zealand. That's far. many of my friends from Austria went to work in NZ ages ago, some stayed. All those who came back raved about the country.

Hi there,

I too am a lover of coconut flour!  I use it all the time.  I know that it can be used as 100% of a recipe, but this i have not tried yet.  I add a small amount (10% or so) of coconut flour to almost everything i bake, from waffles and cookies to bread loaves and hamburger buns.  I bake everything from scratch and the coconut has improved everything!

Despite its strong sweet coconut scent when raw, the flavour does not reflect this in the end baked good.  My bread does not taste of coconut!  And the fiber boost is so so worth the expense of buying yet another gluten-free flour!  I have a pantry full of gluten-free ingredients for baking.  But as they say, the more the merrier!  Using many flours together certainly makes for a better baked good.

I look forward to your info being posted.  thanks!

It sounds like coconut flour would be GREAT for pancakes. Have you used it for that? I'd be curious.

OK so heres some response to the posts.

First pancakes

Ingredients
*  2 eggs
*  2 tbsps coconut oil or butter
*  2 tbsps cocnut milk or whole milk
*  1 tsp sugar
*   1/4 tsp salt
*  2 tbsps sifted coconut flour
*  1/8 tsp baking powder

Blend together the eggs, oil, coconut milk, sugar and salt.  Combine flour and baking powder and thoroughly mix into batter.  Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in pan. Spoon batter into pan making panckes of about 50-60mm.  Batter will be thick but will flatten out when cooking. Makes about 8 pancakes

Acknowledgement Dr Bruce Fife

Cooking with the flour doesnt require large quantities.

You can put other seasonal fruits or vegies in there such as blueberries or blanched asparagus to add nutrient value and interest
