Since we’re on GAPS and we also have nut allergies in our home, we use a lot of coconut flour. Some of our favorite coconut flour recipes include
What are the benefits of using coconut flour?
- A little bit of coconut flour goes a long way! You will use 1/2 cup or so in a recipe that will make 12 muffins, so a pound of coconut flour will last you a while.
- It is high in protein.
- It does not contain any grains or nuts.
- It has a naturally “sweet” flavor to it and works nicely in muffins or desserts.
But where do you find coconut flour? And is it expensive?
I recommend getting good quality coconut flour. You can buy anywhere from 1 lb to 25 lbs at a time, and sometimes you can find it in the bulk bins. You can purchase coconut flour at:
Coconut flour will range in cost, anywhere from $5 to about $9 per lb, including shipping. I recommend getting Organic Coconut Flour.
Have you purchased coconut flour before? Where did you buy it?

Brenda, what is the shipping from Wilderness Family Naturals? I have checked them out before and the shipping charges killed it for me. I usually buy from Tropical Traditions when they have free shipping or last time was $10 off…(covered shipping charges). Yes I end up paying about $4.54 per pound but that includes shipping…..
Alicia, good point!! I just updated the post with shipping costs calculated in! I hope this helps! 🙂
Thanks! I thought I was getting the best deal that I had found through Tropical Traditions…I love their coconut flour and you are so right! A little goes a LONG way!!! They have the free shipping regularly so that is when I order.
Also love your menu plans…we just tried your garlic herb bread…DELICIOUS!!!
Thanks!
Alicia, I’m so glad that you love the meal plans & you liked the bread! Yay! 🙂
Garlic Herb bread, where do I find this recipe? Yum
I get my coconut flour at the GF store ‘near’ my house, its better quality than Bob’s and comes in bulk so more affordable. I will have to compare the cost the next time I pick some up-thanks for the great info! I really enjoy using coconut flour now that I cook primal and often (as a previous post of yours showed) GAPS has similarities so I have enjoyed your recipes!
roughly $2.25 per pound on amazon for a 25# bag of nutiva coconut flour… http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RJMZA4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Thanks for letting me know! When I clicked through, it wasn’t available. I wonder if it will be back? 🙂
