falquaid Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi there! Does anyone know the texture of coconut flour? Is it 'powder'ey? Im finding coconut milk powder and pulverized coconut (but its not powdery)... Does anyone know where to find coconut powder in Dubai (geant has but its too far for me)...

missmary Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 what are you planning to use this for? If we know the intended use we might be better able to tell you if the coconut milk powder would work--keep in mind that baked goods and pancakes and such are not permitted on the whole30, so compliant uses for coconut flour are quite limited.

falquaid Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi missmary! I wanted to try http://stupideasypaleo.com/2013/12/09/paleo-zucchini-fritters/ These seemed to be 'ok'... Pls feel free to correct me as i'm a newbie... Tmrw is day 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 those are ok. The coconut flour is acting as a binder. You could try the milk powder, but it may have more "coconut" flavor than you want, and it may not absorb as much liquid as the coconut flour, so they might be too moist. I would not use pulverized coconut in this case. Another option would be to skip the "binder" altogether. if you don't want to bother with the coconut products, I'm sure these would be fine with just the egg to bind (maybe they wouldn't hold together as well, but I bet they would taste fine).

praxisproject Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If you can't get coconut flour, you could use almond flour as a binder (you won't need as much liquid with almond), or dessicated coconut (it will be rougher, not flour-like). We can get coconut milk powder in Australia and if yours is like ours I don't think it will be any good as a binder. Egg is also a pretty good binder on it's own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 2, 2015 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have made my own coconut flour by blending dried shredded coconut in a coffee grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Shredded has more oil than dessicated (which has had all the fat sucked out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
