Jeg fant en side med bl.a regler for baking med Kokosmel , limer inn litt info her:

"Rules you should know when cooking with Organic coconut flour



1. You need to use less coconut flour up to 30% compared with the recipe called for wheat flour.

Coconut flour is very economical due to the high fibre content that increases the yield of your baked foods to 30% dough weight.

2. Instead of additional water or liquid use coconut milk or virgin coconut oil
Coconut flour absorbs a large amount of liquid. For some recipes the batter becomes so thick and you might temp to add extra water to thin it out. However, adding more liquid to the batter will not make it thinner. If you want to thin the batter, you can generally do so by adding a little coconut milk or more oil.

For some recipes the batter may seem too runny, that’s ok. When cooked, the batter will firm up and produce good results. Avoid the urge to thicken batter by adding more coconut flour. Adding more flour may produce a dry and crumbly product. Generally, if you allow the batter to sit and rest for a few minutes, it will thicken slightly as the fiber absorbs the moisture.

3. What to use instead of gluten

Coconut flour is gluten free and will fall apart when you make pastry. As a replacement to gluten, leavening comes from eggs and baking powder.


4. Cooking time is different

The difference between coconut flour and wheat flour is cooking time, wheat crust require 30-50 minutes, whereas coconut flour just 18-20 minutes at the same temperature.

The difference in cooking time requires some modifications in the filling used, particularly with fruit fillings. With coconut flour piecrust you must cook the filling first before putting it into the pie. The edges of the pies will cook much faster that the rest of the crust, you can prevent burning by covering the edges with foil.

5. Using more sugar than required in a recipe

Sugar is an important ingredient in many recipes. Adding more sugar to the recipe is not a problem, but if you reduce sugar in a recipe, you may need to add a little more liquid, coconut milk or whole milk to maintain consistency."
