Coconut flour can be a bit temperamental and difficult to work with if you’re not used to it. Coconut flour absorbs an incredible amount of liquid so it can’t be substituted in for recipes that call for regular wheat flour. The ratios of all the ingredients are different and so instead you need to look for recipes specifically designed for coconut flour. Most of these recipes will include little flour, plenty of eggs and a good amount of fat.
How you measure coconut flour can make a big difference in how moist your baking will turn out. Don’t scoop your flour out with your measuring spoon. When you do this you are compressing the flour and end up with way too much! This is actually true with all flours. Instead, you should spoon the coconut flour loosely in the your measuring cup until it’s full.
