Tips for using coconut flour

Coconut flour is super absorbent so most coconut flour recipes will call for a lot more liquid, eggs and/or oil than traditional recipes. For dairy-free recipes, coconut milk and coconut oil are often used.
You will use much less coconut flour that you expect in recipes. Most recipes will use less than a cup of coconut flour for the full recipe.
For these reasons, don't try to substitute coconut flour for any other flour in a recipe. Look for recipes that are specifically developed to use coconut flour.
