According to the package a serving (2 TBS) have 10.5 g Dietary Fiber, so 1 TBS

would have

5.25. It also says that total carbohydrates is 16.6 g (for 2 TBS) but, as I

understand it, the

fiber can be subtracted from that in order to arrive at the effective carbs. The

yummy

blueberry muffins that I make with it have 3.5 grams fiber, 2 g. effective

carbs, 4 g. protein,

and 132 calories. I'm addicted.

Thank you for that answer.

Which recipe do you use, is it in the coconut flour book by Bruce Fife

or a different one?

Send recipe please! So far I haven't made anything with coconut flour

that I consider more than just barely edible, I've made nothing even

remotely good, let alone yummy.

What brand do you use? I have Aloha Nu, and use the recipes from cooking

with coconut flour.

With over 6 grams of non-fiber carbs per serving, I can really see why

coconut flour really messed with my blood sugar.

Blueberry Muffins using coconut flour. I think I got this recipe from

on this list:

(this makes 12 muffins)

6 eggs (room temperature. this is important but what I do to hurry it

along is to place the eggs in warm water and they're ready as soon as

I've gathered the other ingredients).

2/3 cup coconut flour (I've been using Aloha Nu)

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

sugar substitute equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar. (I use 1 tsp. liquid

vanilla flavored Stevia)

1 tsp. baking powder

6-10 TBS. water (I use 8)

1 cup blueberries (if frozen, defrost by placing in strainer and

spraying with warm water).

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375 deg. Spray muffin pan (I use an olive oil PAM)

1. Whisk or beat the eggs until well-mixed. Add salt, vanilla, and

liquid sweetener.

2. Add dry ingredients - baking powder & flour

3. Now stream in the melted oil and whisk till well blended (doesn't

take long)

4. Add water 2 TBS at a time. You want it to be able to slide off the

spoon but thick enough to hold the berries. I've settled on 8 TBS but

I also make sure I use enough of the flour by tapping the measuring

cup to settle the flour when almost filled - then adding a tad more

to finish.

5. Add the berries and fold in gently

Each muffin has 2 grams effective carb, 3.5 gr. fiber, 4 gr. protein,

and 132 calories

Best,

Dee (I think I have here to thank for this one but I have

adjusted the amounts to make 12 instead of 6 muffins)

Alobar, were you eating it by the Tablespoon? One muffin made with

coconut flour and no sugar only has 2 gr. effective carbs. You can't

get less than that in vegetables! 1 cup of cooked spinach contains 7

grams and a cup of raw tomatoes 8:
