Coconut flour

I bought a big bag of it and would love some irish recipes. All the ones I find online mostly call for American ingredients

Where did you get it?

i dont think dessicated coconut is coconut flour.. although maybe it's just a terminology thing

is the stuff I have, picked it up in a health food shop in carlow. i dont use it much as I wasn't able to quickly or easily figure out a way to make a staple out of it. I mainly just throw a bit into my oatmeal to turn it into a more redybrek style meal w/ added fibre.

Used wrong link, changed it there.
Adding to porridge, that's an idea!

oh crap i said oatmeal, i always do that. i meant oatbran

i actually have porridge, i might try that as well. the oat bran is runnier though so it comes out far more redybreak-ish. i think the size of the flakes in oatmeal might stop that happening unless you heat the absolute living **** out of them.

I've made pizza bases, muffins and banana bread with it. There are recipes out there, they just use cups instead of grams/oz but I bought a cup measuring set in Homestore and More (think they had them in Lidl not so long ago too), makes making American recipes so much easier. Can't say I found many recipes I couldn't do myself after that.

Coconut flour absorbs so much liquid. E.g. for a pizza base, I used something like 5 eggs and 1/2 cup coconut flour, and it was still dry, so you can't use it in the same way as normal flour.

I loved the muffins and breads with it though, they were light yet moist too.

Hi Jenizzle could you please send me the recipe you used for the pizza base using coconut flour that would be great

I haven't made muffins in a while, but the recipe was roughly ...
3 tablespoons coconut flour
3 eggs
400g natural yogurt
1 peeled diced apple
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
loads of cinnamon and raisins to taste
nearly half a tablespoon of bread soda
if we have chia or milled flaxseeds lying around the place i put a tablespoon of each in but they're not really necessary

mix eggs & flour first then lump in the rest

10-15 mins 180c, should make 16

this might be a stupid question, but I saw coconut flour in the asian market the other day and was intrigued but didn't buy it because I thought it would be "coconutty" does it have a coconut flavour off it?

Asian shops tend to have the full fat flour, which is more like a very finely dessicated coconut for curry dishes. The health food shops tend to have the fat reduced flour which is intended to be a replacement for wheat flour.
