Excellent almond flour muffins Thanks
I too am wondering about alternative to coconut flour? Also, do you think there would be other modifications if I use raspberries? I am thinking I may need to reduce some liquid ingredients as I know raspberries are more water dense. Thanks for the great service!
Hi! Just verifying that 1 tablespoon of baking powder is correct? Thanks!
HI Jennifer yes it is!
I made these and while being very good, they fell apart quite easily and crumbled. had to eat them with a spoon.
Hi, would it change the recipe much if I sub whipped cottage cheese for te yogert?
HI Nancy, 100% would work here!
Can I sub another flour for coconut flour?
can I use frozen berries?
Hi Jenifer, yes you can!
Can we sub any other flour for the coconut flour?
I’d like to know this too as we have an allergy to coconut.
Thought the same thing 🙂
is 1TBSP correct for baking powder?
Seems that this is the only question that is not being answered. After some reserach I can understand why since it seems there is not a good 1:1 ratio substitute. The following may help and is from Global Resources Direct:
Can I use almond flour as a 1:1 substitute for coconut flour?
While almond flour can be used as a substitute for coconut flour, it is not a 1:1 replacement. Generally, use 1 cup of almond flour for every 1/4 to 1/3 cup of coconut flour, and adjust the liquid in the recipe accordingly.
Are there any nut-free substitutes for coconut flour?
Yes, cassava flour and tigernut flour are both nut-free and gluten-free options that can be used as substitutes for coconut flour in baking recipes.
How do I adjust the liquid when using a coconut flour substitute?
Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so when using a substitute, you may need to reduce the liquid in your recipe by 10-20% to achieve the desired consistency. Experiment with ratios to find the perfect balance for your specific recipe.
Can I mix different flours to replace coconut flour?
Absolutely! Combining multiple flours, such as almond flour and cassava flour, can help you achieve a texture and flavor profile that closely mimics that of coconut flour. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the perfect blend for your needs.
Hope this helps someone to venture in with the recipe. I am going to try with coconut first and then try alternative. Also, thinking I will try raspberries as a substitute for strawberries.
