Coconut flour needs a *lot* of binding agent

(egg or chia gel) in order to not end up with a

crumbly, dry finished product. You also use a

lot less, as it absorbs a lot of moisture.

Here's a recipe that's a great example: http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com/index.cfm/2012/1/13/lemon-cranberry-coconut-muffins

They're super tasty, too; I've made them

multiple times with various fruits. I love that

their both dairy and gluten free. :-)

But it takes 7 eggs for only 3/4 cup coconut

flour, and you still end up with a dozen

muffins. The coconut flour is like a sponge to

the wet ingredients. If you sub two or three

cups of coconut flour into a "normal" muffin

recipe, it won't be edible.

HTH!

OK - I made these (see post below) this morning and

they are AWESOME (to me at least :-) I am eating

them right now!

Here is the original recipe:

Servings: 12

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

7 eggs

1 cup fresh cranberries (I chopped them up

in the food processor)

1 lemon, zest and juice

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup coconut flour

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix all ingredients until well

combined. Bake in greased muffin tins for about

20 minutes.

As usual, I used the recipe as a "suggestion"

and worked with what I have on hand.

I only had 4 eggs left, and one was a banty

egg, so I dumped all four into the Vitamix.

The eggs came almost to the one cup line, so I

poured coconut oil in until the mix rose up to the

one cup line.

I juiced a lemon (didn't mess with the ze!

st) and added the juice of the lemon.

I didn't have any cranberries.

I didn't have any shredded coconut.

I used about 20 drops of NuNaturals Vanilla Dog

Alcohol Free Stevia ($5 off of a first order of

NuNaturals at http://www.iHerb.com

if you use code ZIC184 - Shipping is Free if your

order is above $20!) instead of maple syrup.

I ran all of this on variable speed 1 until

mixed up then put it all in a mixing bowl and...

I didn't measure the coconut flour, just put in

what I thought was a little more than half of 3/4

of a cup.

I shook my Sea Salt shaker a couple of times

into the mix

I added some baking powder :-)

Stirred, then put the mix into a stoneware

muffin pan coated with melted butter (made in the

Vitamix ;-)

Super crumbly, and IMO delicious! Imagine what

they would taste like if s!

omeone followed the recipe!

Cabbage is DELICIOUS roasted or baked. I throw whole heads in my solar oven often and slow roast them-great for soups. You can make an amazing vegetarian gravy from purple cabbage by just thickening the cooking juice with a little tapioca starch-makes the most stunning color!Sent from my iPadOn Mar 24, 2012, at 6:09 PM, Velda <solomon@...> wrote:

I like cabbage, though have not roasted or baked. I use it in soups

and sausage and sauerkraut and of course in smoothies. I just am not

sure how it would taste in a muffin. LOL

Pink gravy from purple cabbage. On that I am not sure, would have to

be convinced that pink is a good color for a gravy when I am used to

having brown or white gravy. haha

I had some in the house. The kind from the store is MUCH finer than anything I could make from the left overs from making coconut milk. I've tried that. What I've made in my dehydrator is good, but NOT FINE like flour - more like a "meal".
