Coconut Flour substitutes
Out of coconut flour? Here are the best substitutes — what to reach for, why it works, and how much to use. Almond flour is the top pick.
- 01Almond flourbest pick
Coconut flour is extraordinarily absorbent, so you need far more almond flour and less liquid.
1 cup coconut = about 4 cups almond flour, cut eggs/liquid
- 02Oat flour
Mild and soft-textured; also much less absorbent, so scale up sharply.
1 cup coconut = about 3-4 cups oat flour
- 03All-purpose flour
Fine when gluten isn't a concern — the same absorbency adjustment applies.
1 cup coconut = about 4 cups all-purpose
- 04Ground flaxseed
Adds fiber and binding like coconut flour; best blended with another flour.
replace up to 1/4 of the flour
