Coconut flour and oil?

OH THANKS KEITH! We do have a Publix here. I tried Kroger and didn't see it. I will check there. :) Now, is that something to use mixed with regular flour, or do I use it alone?

I use it alone or some of the recipes I have seen use a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. It does have a flavor so if you were looking for something savory try flax meal or golden flax meal. But for like a carb friendly cookie or minute cake it works our well. I haven't really used it that much yet, so I wouldn't call myself experienced, but the few things i have used it for worked out really well. I am always a bit surprised at how little the recipes call for usually like 1/4 cup so coconut flour must expand when it is mixed. I can't really tell.

You could mix it with regular or whole wheat flour, but those are unnecessary carbs.

Ok that sounds about right. I'm wanting to use it for pancakes so I an actually eat the same breakfast as the rest of the family.

I get the flours I use from Honeyville grain, but I use a lot of them, I'd start by ordering on Amazon or Netrition to try them out first before investing $$. There's tons of low-carbing recipe sites out there, coconut flour is dry and absorbs a lot of moisture.. need generally 1/2-1/3 the amount called for in reg flour, double the eggs and add some more liquid. I like it though! I love coconut oils too- both de-scented and regular, it and olive and butter are my go-tos..

It probably does make some pretty good pancakes. There are a couple interesting low carb/body buider pancake recipes online. search on YouTube for low carb pancake and protein pancake. There is a good one from a guy named RJ Riches who is a natural body builder that has some carbs in it but its from whole oats so would actually be pretty good for you.

Dave Ruel has one as well. I think on YouTube he is TheMuscleCook

Bob's Red Mill also makes a low carb pancake mix that I have used before I got coconut flour and I believe I got that at Publix as well. If not WholeFoods for sure has it.

I didn't know there was such a thing.  I thought there was just whole wheat flour and white flour.......

Good to know, although I don't use much flour anyway.  I'm not very good at baking...lol

I just ordered a great deal on the coconut oil.
