I am sure you could play with the amount of coconut flour — it absorbs far more
moisture than almond flour so I don't think it would be a simple substitute.
It absorbs way more
moisture than almond flour or all purpose flour so if you try to swap them evenly they will likely be very dry.
I haven't tried specifically for this recipe, but usually it works fine to substitute the almond flour with 1/3 of the quantity in coconut flour, since the coconut flour absorbs more
moisture than almond flour.
Not exact matches
It soaks up a lot of
moisture, so typically I'll use more
almond milk or less
flour than I would when using something like oat or
almond flour.
Hi Cheryl,
almond flour is less absorbent
than other
flours so the extra pineapple may have added too much
moisture to the batter.
Almond flour and coconut
flour require different
moisture levels
than many other gluten free
flours, so just subbing them in will throw off a recipe not originally written for them.
Perhaps, because of it's tendency to soak up
moisture much more
than almond flour, less would be necessary.
Just beware that if you're going to use coconut
flour for baking, it absolutely NEEDS to be mixed with other
flours as it sucks up
moisture like crazy... I've made delicious baked goods by mixing coconut
flour with
almond flour and quinoa
flour in equal parts, and adding slightly more liquid ingredients
than the recipe calls for.
You would definitely need a much lower amount of coconut
flour than almond flour since it absorbs more
moisture.
