It’s a bit harder to use without eggs, but it is possible to use no eggs with coconut flour. Just take a look at the Egg Free Brownie recipe at Low Carb Yum here: https://lowcarbyum.com/easy-egg-free-brownies-recipe/ (It uses gelatin and water in place of eggs)

I read Wheat Belly and want to change to using coconut flour but I notice all the recipes, and you mentioned it, is to increase amount of eggs. For those of us with egg sensitivity it is just not possible! I get violently sick when the ratio is more than 2 eggs for brownies! I can’t imagine using 4 eggs for biscuits. Is there any hope I can change my baking or do I just give up everything?

I use coconut flour for almost all my baking, somehow I prefer it to almond flour, because I use lots of eggs and almond milk, which the coconut flour all absorbs an d give me a not too crumbly feel that I like…
But almond flour, just a little more liquid I add, my baking will just go bad… I like the almond gives though… But I never got choked from coconut flour baking

In reply to Gladys Clark. We get ours at Walmart. Not sure if a countdown store carries them.

In reply to Karen M. Muñoz. Brands do vary slightly so it's best to check the labels on what you have.

“Both coconut flour and almond flour are similar in macronutrient composition. Coconut flour has 4 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein, 16 grams of carbohydrates, and 10 grams of fiber for each 1/4 cup. Almond flour is opposite of coconut flour. It has 14 grams of fat, 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of fiber for every 1/4 cup.” This is not accurate. Go back to the nutrition labels and do the math. As per Bob’s Red Mill Nutrition Label for each 1/4 cup of Coconut Flour has: 120 calories, 3 grams fat, 2 grams saturated fat, 18 grams carbs,10 grams fiber, 8 net carbs (carbs minus fiber), 6 grams protein. Likewise Bob’s Red Mill Nutrition Label for each 1/4 cup of Almond Flour has: 180 calories, 10 grams fat, 0 grams saturated fat, 10 grams carbs, 2 grams fiber, 8 net carbs (carbs minus fiber), 8 grams protein. Both have the same amount of net carbs.

In reply to SDC. Coconut flour is pretty common these days. It's usually found with gluten-free baking ingredients. I have no problem finding it at Walmart and other retailers.

Problem is where to actually find and buy coconut flour? I checked all the natural whole food stores in town and not one has it! I did find almond flour which works well as a wheat replacement.

In reply to Harold. You do need to make changes to a recipe like add more liquid and or eggs when using coconut flour versus almond flour. I prefer coconut flour as it's less inflammatory than almond flour. So it is a good option to almond flour as long as you know how to work with it.
