A low carb coconut flour flat bread that works with either a sweet or savoury filling. It is very flexible so can be rolled up and used in recipes such as enchiladas. Or a quick low carb pizza base too. I enjoy it as a bread with dips or filled with cheese and coleslaw.

This is an old recipe of my mine that I thought that I would revisit and update. It's rather scary how old it is and how long I have overlooked it too. So many recipes, not enough time!

Coconut Flour Flat Bread - Divalicious Recipes (1)

It is difficult for me to put this coconut flour flatbread into a category as they can be slightly sweet due to the coconut flour, but are versatile enough to be used as a savory flat bread.

They do have a delicate coconut taste, so if you want to use them as a sandwich wrap use a filling that would compliment the coconut flavour, perhaps some shredded chicken, lemon mayonnaise and lettuce? You decide, you're the one eating it, not me. I recently had mine with some Roasted Red Pepper dip - very tasty!

Recipe Tips

The mixture of this coconut flour flatbread is fairly thick so you will need to spread it over the frying pan with a spatula as you pour it in. Be quick, be nimble and try your best to get a circle! Or be creative and quickly make a shape. If it ends up a strange shape, just confidently snap "that's what I was planning to do". I do it all the time in an assertive manner and am never questioned! Smother it with melted cheese and no-one will question you...

If you are making mayonnaise or ice cream and wondering what to do with the remaining egg whites rather than a boring egg white omelette, then whip a batch of these coconut flour flatbreads. Alternatively, if you are wondering what to do with the left over egg yolks after making this recipe you have a few options. Lemon curd is always a delicious option. Or a coconut dessert!

    Should I ground my psyllium husk into a fine powder or can I use it as is?

    This is great! I used double cream instead of coconut milk as I didn't have any and skipped the optional seasonings as I wanted a neutral flavour, and it was just right. I must admit I do find egg whites more eggy than whole eggs, so next time I'll make this with 2 whole eggs instead of 3 egg whites. Thank you so much for this recipe, it's easy and convenient and very tasty.

    Found the batter super thin?

      You might have added too much water as the absorbency between brands of coconut flour can vary. Next time, add the water a quarter cup at a time.

        You say try a quarter
        cup at a time,but it only asks for 1 tablespoon?

          I think you might be mixing up my other coconut flour flatbread with psyllium husk powder which uses a cup of water.

    Hi
    I am looking forward to trying this recipe but if I am using egg whites from a container how much would I use in place of using the egg whites of 3 eggs?
    Thanks

      I'm not too sure, I would guess about 3 to 4 tablespoons.

    Can you just use 1 whole egg instead of the white?

    Reply

    • Divalicious

      You could, but it might be a bit more "eggy" in taste. Enjoy it!

    looks good. i want to make it but why just egg whites? can we add the whole egg?

    Reply

    • Divalicious

      I find that the egg white keeps it light and not too "eggy" but feel free to add the whole egg. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for popping by!

    I made these the other day, almost exact recipe, but there wasn't any liquid in it and they don't fold at ALL. I did add a couiple tablesp. of water to it, but no go. Maybe milk would help.. I'll try again. I also found that the flavor is a little odd, so I shouldve added spices..

    Reply

    • Divalicious

      I would add more coconut milk perhaps..spice it up with some herbs? Hope the next one works out okay for you.

        Same thing happened to my first attempt, didn't run like batter, was more like a wet dough. Added more water but by then was too late. I always find that coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, perhaps that was the reason?

FAQs

Which is better for baking almond or coconut flour? ›

As a stand alone flour, coconut flour does not yield crunchy baked goods the way almond flour does. Coconut flour does work incredibly well in cake and muffin recipes. Because many do not consider coconut a nut, coconut flour is a great alternative to almond flour for those with nut allergies.

Can coconut flour replace all-purpose flour? ›

Use a 1:4 ratio when substituting coconut flour with all-purpose flour. This means that for every 1 cup of regular flour, you only use ¼ cup of coconut flour. Following this ratio will help make your low-carb baked goods come out the way you hope.

What does coconut flour do in baking? ›

Coconut flour is extremely high in fiber, which means it absorbs a lot of liquid during baking. This makes it critical to follow the recipe exactly without making additional substitutions. Dough will often be much thicker than expected when baking with coconut flour.

How much coconut flour to replace almond flour? ›

Coconut flour is particularly absorbent and sucks up a lot of moisture. Replacing coconut flour for almond flour (or grain flours) requires that you adjust the amount of liquid and eggs added. A good starting point is to substitute 1 cup of almond flour with 1/4 cup (1 ounce) of coconut flour.

Does coconut flour spike blood sugar? ›

Coconut flour appears to have a low glycaemic index of 51 which means it should cause less of a spike in blood sugar levels than wheat flour, which has a glycaemic index of 69. This is because coconut flour is high in fat and fibre, which work to slow down the release of sugar in the bloodstream.

Can I mix almond flour with coconut flour for baking? ›

Coconut flour can be baked at the same temperature as other recipes, no need for adjustment. The best ratio is 3:1 almond flour to coconut flour. This low carb flour substitution closely mirrors all-purpose flour without the need for additional eggs.

Do you need to add baking powder to coconut flour? ›

Replacing wheat flour with coconut flour

Cakes and muffins, which need to be light and fluffy, will be very different than something more dense, like cookies. But when working with coconut flour, you always need to decrease the flour and increase the eggs and baking powder.

Should coconut flour be refrigerated? ›

When stored properly, coconut flour will last for up to two years. The best way to store coconut flour is in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry, fridge, or freezer.

Is coconut flour a carb or protein? ›

Coconut flour is primarily composed of carbohydrates, specifically dietary fiber, and has a relatively low amount of protein. It is made from the pulp or meat of coconuts after the coconut milk has been extracted. The coconut meat is dried, defatted, and ground into a fine powder, resulting in coconut flour.

Can you taste coconut flour in baking? ›

I've found that it depends on the recipe, and raw recipes do carry the flavor more so than baked and cooked recipes using coconut flour. I do sometimes taste a bit of fiber, depending on how much coconut flour I'm adding to a recipe and the other ingredients, but to me that fiber is a good thing.

What is the best use for coconut flour? ›

Coconut flour is made from coconut meat that's dried then ground into flour. It's a very light and “airy” flour, perfect for cakes, muffins, and breads.

Is coconut flour hard to bake with? ›

In fact, my favorite keto chocolate cupcakes are made entirely with coconut flour. But if you don't know how to work with it, coconut flour can be difficult and sometimes very frustrating. It simply doesn't behave like any other flour on the market, and many people make mistakes when working with it.

Can I mix almond and coconut flour? ›

I like to make my baked goods with a combination of almond flour, tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour), and coconut flour. The almond flour lends flavor and richness, the tapioca starch adds lightness and helps with browning, and the coconut flour helps achieve a cake-like texture.

Why mix almond flour with coconut flour? ›

The ratio of each flour is about the same as in my other recipes that combine almond and coconut flours. The advantage of mixing these flours is that you get the benefits of each: the fiber from the coconut flour and the nutrients from the almond flour.

Is coconut flour good for cholesterol? ›

A study in 42 women who were considered overweight found that consuming a low calorie diet that included 26 grams of coconut flour per day for 9 months reduced total cholesterol and blood sugar levels. In turn, this may reduce heart disease risk ( 15 ).

Does almond flour bake differently? ›

When you replace some of the all-purpose flour with almond flour in non-yeast recipes, you'll probably notice a difference in how your baked goods either rise, or spread. Cookies and scones may spread more; cake, biscuits, and muffins may rise less.

Is it healthier to bake with almond flour? ›

This could mean that almonds' low glycemic properties and high magnesium content may help control blood sugar in people with or without type 2 diabetes. Summary: Almond flour may be better than conventional flours for your blood sugar, as it has a low glycemic index and is rich in magnesium.
