When baking, coconut flour requires more liquid than wheat flour because it is highly absorbent. It is often combined with other flours or binders like eggs to achieve the desired texture. Due to its unique properties, it is best to follow recipes specifically developed for coconut flour. It can also be used to add a subtle coconut flavor and a tender crumb to your creations. Experiment with small amounts to understand its absorption rate in your own recipes.
