What is coconut flour?
Coconut flour is made from dried coconut meat. It is a fine, soft flour that is extremely absorbent. When you see a recipe using coconut flour it will most likely use very small amounts of flour compared to what you would see for a traditional wheat, or even gluten free flour. Coconut flour is roughly used at 1/3 the ratio traditional flour is used.
Is coconut flour healthy?
Coconut flour is low in carbs and high in fiber. It contains an array of nutritions, including a good dose of protein and iron. Coconut are also a heart healthy ingredient, as well as helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. This flour is naturally gluten and grain free making it perfect for those with celiac.
Can I substitute the coconut flour?
No, this recipe needs to be followed exactly in order to achieve perfect, fluffy muffins. If you do not wish to use coconut flour I would suggest this recipe for Chocolate Chip Muffins that uses almond flour or this Pumpkin Muffin recipe that is also grain and gluten free.
How to Make Coconut Flour Muffins
As I mentioned, coconut flour is just not comparable to traditional flour, it is a very different ingredient to work with. For the best results, follow these steps exactly.
- In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sweetener. When the mixture is combined well add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract, beat with the electric mixture again until creamy.
- In another bowl combine the coconut flour, salt and baking powder. Slowly spoon the flour mixture into the wet ingredients while running the electric mix on low speed.
- When the ingredients are incorporated stop the mixer (do not over mix) and fold in the coconut and chocolate chips. Immediately spoon into prepared muffin tins and bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Keto Muffins with Coconut Flour
- This recipe uses monkfruit sweetener, sugar free coconut and chocolate chips to keep it very low carb.
- If you are not keto you can use regular milk, if you are keto you will need to use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe.
- Do not substitute almond flour in this recipe, it will not work.
