The Basics Of Baking With Coconut Flour

The trick to successfully baking with coconut flour is finding the right balance of wet to dry ingredients. Coconut flour is like a sponge, and quickly absorbs any and all liquids in its path.

Too little liquid will result in dry, crumbly cookie bars. That’s why we’ve included a bit of almond milk along with 3 whole eggs in this recipe. (By the way, it’s super easy to make your own at home, and we love this simple almond milk recipe.)

Some Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Be sure to fully incorporate your wet ingredients before sifting in the dry. This helps ensure you get fluffy, light bars instead of heavy, dense logs.
• Don’t forget to sift! Don’t just dump your dry ingredients in. Sifting helps aerate and evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
• Avoid over-mixing. Protect the texture of your fluffy bars by not over-mixing any of the ingredients.
• Cooling is important. We know it’s hard, but let your bars fully cool before diving in. The coconut flour really takes form as it cools.
