Recipes with coconut flour anyone? :)



Recommended Posts

I just recently purchased the smallest package of coconut flour for a recipe and I have no idea how I'll use it all considering that recipe flopped :(

Anyone think of a recipe they like that uses coconut flour? I'm open to suggestions! I checked pinterest and it has a lot of baked goods which I'm not really into (only 3 months post op) and a lot of "bread" or what's supposed to be a bread substitute I guess.

Halp! :D

My favorite coconut flour recipes

"fried" chicken or fish. Works best in an air fryer but could be baked. Basically dip it in egg wash, throw some coconut flour on a plate and season it. Dip it throw in an oven or air fryer with VERY VERY little oil and you have a healthy fried chicken/fish.

Other easy recipe is a Protein mugcake.

1 scoop Protein Powder, 2 tablespoons coconut flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. Mix all in a coffee mug add some milk stir until a THICK batter. Add some vanilla extract or flavoring of choice. Microwave 30-40 seconds and done.

Personally I love coconut flour, tastes fantastic low calorie filling and high in Fiber

I personally like using Almond Flour more. Downside is it has more fat. Upside more Protein. You can use less egg, whereas coconut flour you need more because it is more absorptive.

For all the foodies out there, here's a good article about the pros and cons of both:

My absolute favorite recipe to use Almond Flour is by Kayln's Kitchen:

These nuggets are delicious! I make them once a week!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
