Coconut flour recipes – you want them, I’ve got them! From breakfast to dessert, you will find all the best low carb and keto coconut flour recipes from your favourite bloggers. These grain-free treats are perfect for every occasion.
Hip hip hooray for coconut flour recipes! I’ve recently updated this post to include my latest and most delicious keto coconut flour recipes.
Coconut flour and almond flour are two of the most commonly used flour alternatives in low carb cooking and baking. Most people have a preference of one over the other. Sometimes it’s due to allergies, sometimes it’s simply a preference for flavor or texture.
I will admit that my go-to is almond flour much of the time because I’ve become so comfortable with it. Or a mix of the two, which I find can give keto cakes and muffins a really great consistency.
But I do love my coconut flour pancakes! And I love to experiment and play with all my keto flour options…coconut flour, almond flour, peanut flour, sunflower seed flour…you name it, I’ve tried it (and if I haven’t, I certainly intend to!).
Is coconut flour keto?
You know I hate the idea that a certain food is “keto” or “not keto”. But it goes almost without saying that coconut flour is absolutely appropriate for the keto diet.
Coconut flour is an ideal keto flour because it is:
- low in carbs and high in fiber
- inexpensive, as low carb flours go
- gluten-free
- grain-free
- nut-free
If you are low carb and nut-free, coconut flour may be one of your best options for low carb and keto baking. Still, it’s not an easy flour to work with, especially if you are new to this low carb diet thing.
So before you start, I suggest you read my primer on How to Bake with Coconut Flour. You can’t just sub in coconut flour for regular flour or for other low carb flours. It’s very dense and it requires an inordinate amount of eggs to bake properly, so direct substitutions will result in utter failure!
For those of you who love your coconut flour, I’ve gathered together my best low carb and grain-free coconut flour recipes along with a few more from other great bloggers. Happy coconut flour baking and cooking!

Thank you! I appreciate the coconut flour recipes. Between my diabetes and my husband’s tree nut allergies finding recipes that work for our dietary needs is a challenge.
Carolyn says
So glad to help!
Sandy says
There is photo of something that looks like an egg, pinwheel muffin in the cover collage. I can’t find the recip5 for it.
Carolyn says
Yes, my assistant included a recipe in here that I had to delete from the final draft because it contained almond flour and I was trying to only have ALL coconut flour recipes. Sorry! It’s ham and cheese pinwheels from Peace Love and Low Carb.
Kim says
We the recipe for those cinnamon cupcakes that showing on the picture
Carolyn says
Which picture? I don’t see cinnamon cupcakes. I will try to help if you can guide me.
Staci says
Sorry to leave two comments–
Just wanted to mention the coconut flour raspberry chocolate chips muffins you posted some time ago is a big hit here, although we’ve actually decided we like them best without the chocolate chips. Thank you again!
Debra Jacobs says
I have never made anything with coconut flour as I am not keen on coconut never been able to get an answer as to weather goods cakes, cookies etc have an strong flavor of coconut? can you tell me do they?
almond flour here is so expensive $65.00 per Kg out of my reach Im afraid.
Carolyn says
It depends on what you are making but you can mask the taste of the coconut if you combine with strong flavours like chocolate.
janet says
Thought I would add my two cents here as I have used many recipes with coconut flour, almond flour and golden flaxseed. I find that the recipes that combine 2 or more of these have less of a coconut flavor and as she says strong flavors help to mask it.
I too dislike coconut flavors but my two favorite cake recipes use exclusively coconut flour. Go figure!
Hope this helps you.
Carol says
I use coconut flour exclusively, as almond flour makes me sick. And I do not taste coconut in anything I have made with coconut flour.
Sharon says
I was fooling around with some people ngredients and came up with a wonderful treat.
1/2 cup coconut flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon flax seed
1/2 teaspoon xanthem gum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons Walden farms pancake syrup
2 teaspoons butter
Coconut oil
Mis it all together except for the butter anD oil. Us the oil to coat the rolls side of two coffee mugs. Put half the mixture in each mug. Top each with 1 teaspoon of butter and a drizzle of the pancake syrup. Put in microwave for n high for six minutes. It rises and lightens. Delicious treat when on keto.
Carolyn says
Sounds good!
Elizabeth says
Please can I use fresh coconut to make coconut flour.
Carolyn says
No, you can’t make this kind of coconut flour at home.
KELLY says
SO MANY GREAT RECIPES!, DOES ANYONE HAVE A COCONUT FLOUR PASTA NOODLE RECIPE THAT’S LOW CARB/KETO?.
Basil Bakhshi says
I’ll look into this, thanks! Any chance you’ve worked with an egg replacer?
Carolyn says
Egg replacers do not work well with coconut flour.
Christy says
The pumpkin coconut flour bread link on the Bob’s Red Mill guest post does not work. Can you post the pumpkin bread recipe here on your site please? Thanks.
karen s. says
Since I bought almond flour for your Peanut Butter chocolate mug chip mug cakes which I loved, sure would like more recipes using almond flour…..tried to search on your site, but didn’t find any more….thank you
Carolyn says
Almost all of my recipes are made with almond flour. Seriously… that’s why it doesn’t have its own category because it would be thousands upon thousands… Just search cake or muffin or cookie
Robyn says
Great list of coconut flour recipes! Thank you! 💕
