Coconut flour is naturally gluten-free and an alternative to grain-based flour. It is considered Paleo-friendly and vegan. It is high in fiber and good for digestion (gut health). It is not nut-free since it is made from coconut, so be aware of that when baking with it. Because it has a very minimal effect on blood sugar levels, it is considered safe for diabetic and keto baking as long it is used in conjunction with diabetic-safe sweeteners. We’re doing that today!
