Easy recipe plus video tutorial for homemade coconut flour which is a simple, budget-friendly, low carb, and gluten-free alternative to expensive store-bought brands. Lasts for months!homemade coconut flour

More and more people are turning to store-bought or homemade coconut flour these days. It is a delicious low carb and Keto-friendly alternative to grain-based flours.

Coconut flour is a disaccharide free food. As such, it is an acceptable flour for baking when following the GAPS, AIP or SCD healing diet.

In addition, coconut flour is Paleo and Primal friendly for those who avoid grains.

The primary problem with coconut flour is that it is rather expensive to buy. As a result, many folks are learning to make it themselves, which is incredibly budget-friendly.

Today’s video plus written coconut flour recipe expands on articles and video tutorials which showed you how to make homemade coconut milk and coconut milk kefir.

Recipes Using Homemade Coconut Flour

Learning how to make homemade coconut flour is extremely easy to do and worth the effort. Buying it at the store is pricey.  A small one-pound bag at my health food store costs about $6. You can go through one of these quickly if you use it a lot.

Homemade coconut flour can be used in loads of baking recipes. Popular recipes using coconut flour on this blog include:

  • lemon poppyseed muffins
  • honey bread
  • low carb fried chicken
  • coconut flour pizza crust

If you are simply avoiding gluten but eat grains, this tutorial plus recipe on homemade gluten-free flour may prove helpful.

Note that you cannot substitute coconut flour for grain-based flours 1:1. Coconut flour behaves very differently when baking than grain-based flour does. It also requires more eggs. Hence, you need a specific recipe that uses coconut flour for whatever baked good you wish to make.

Remember that using soaked coconut flour is best if you are sensitive to phytates and lectins. While coconut flour is not excessively high in these anti-nutrients, it is a good idea to soak it if you eat it often.

How to Make Coconut Flour Tutorial

The video tutorial included with the recipe below provides easy instructions on how to make coconut flour yourself without the inconvenience of having to open a coconut first!

    Can you pls clarify my doubt?
    There are 2 school of thoughts floated in web on how to make coconut flour:

    1 set of people say its made from raw desiccated coconut after extracting coconut milk
    2. others say its made from dried coconut after extracting coconut oil.

    Which one is right approach which gives you better nutritional benefits?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello! Thank you for your video on making coconut flour. There is only one clarification
    that I would like to know:—How many time should I pour fresh water is squeezing out the
    milk from the fiber? Should I get all of the milk out or leave some in, then dry that in the
    oven?
    Kindly clarify that for me please!!!…..Thanks a million!!!!

    How do you make it flour without it turning into butter?
    I dehydrated my coconut for 2 hours and it got pretty dry, but when I put it in my processor it started turning into butter.

    Does coconut flour go rancid like other flours? I just noticed that my local bulk store carries it, but was hesitant to buy some for that reason. Thanks!
