I love coconut! It is a fabulous and blessed fruit because of all the products you can get from it. And tell me about its flavor. Ummm…! So fresh, sweet, and yummy!🥥

Check here for other of my recipes where I use coconut.

Coconut flour is one of the healthiest substitutes for wheat flour. 

If you are allergic to nuts, this flour is also an excellent option to replace almond flour. Coconut is a fruit that will not trigger any allergies unless you are allergic to coconut🤔.

Since I started taking care of what I eat, I have been passionate about finding alternatives to my favorite treats, desserts, and recipes.

And let’s be honest. Every once in a while, we all feel like having a treat.

These coconut flour & chocolate chip cookies have become my favorite homemade desserts. 

And I haven’t bought cookies from the supermarket for a long time as this recipe is easy to make, and I can eat it without guilt, knowing that they are loaded with a bunch of essential nutrients such as proteins and fiber.

Health benefits 🥥

Coconut’s popularity has increased since science began studying the benefits of its MCT oils, among other great benefits like its antifungal, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties. 

Coconut flour is made from dry, ground coconut, which contains many of the benefits mentioned above.

Besides, it is rich in plant-based iron. And because of its high amounts of fiber, it helps stabilize blood sugar levels, promotes healthy digestion, supports weight loss, and improves heart health. 

Another interesting fact about coconut flour is that it contains fewer Omega 6 fatty acids than other gluten-free flour.

Generally, the modern diet is rich in Omega 6, which contributes to chronic inflammation. So, coconut flour might be a better alternative if you are on an anti-inflammatory diet or suffering from any inflammatory condition.

These will be super coconut cookies since I will also use coconut oil, coconut sugar, and shredded coconut. It’s going to be a coco party in your mouth! They are yummy 😋.

Pros & Cons of Coconut Flour.

Coconut flour has a bad reputation because it is different than wheat flour. It’s a dry flour that requires more moisture and eggs.  

I remember my first time experimenting with it.  

I was very frustrated trying to make coconut flour crepes 🤯. And they were a total failure.

So, I will tell you some tips and tricks to help you better understand this incredible ingredient. And so you can start using it more often in your recipes.

Pros

1. It’s gluten-free, grain-free, and nut-free. Remember that coconut is a fruit.
2. It’s high in fiber and protein, which makes it very filling.
3.  A small amount goes a long way.
4. It tastes great!
5. It’s more affordable than other gluten-free flour.

Cons

I think the only disadvantage is that it needs more eggs. Also, be aware that it absorbs more liquids than other flours. For this reason, it cannot be used as a one-to-one replacement in some recipes. 

Now that you know more about coconut flour, let’s bake some cookies.

Enjoy with your favorite vegetable milk.

Storage them in airtight containers. They can last for one week in the fridge. And you can also freeze them and store them for a longer time.

You will love these coconut flour chocolate chip cookies🍪. They taste a lot like chocolate🍫 and coconut🥥. They are not very sweet. They are entirely delicious.
