I've acquired some recipes from this web site and from a .pdf file (from Niulife via Kiwi - Thanks Kiwi!) using coconut flour for baking. I'm wanting to try some of these recipes, and my hand at baking. I'm relatively clueless when it comes to baking (cooking not so much). My family is knowledgeable about baking, however when it comes to coconut (shredded or flour) as a substitute for "conventional" grain flour, they kind of shrug their shoulders and plead ignorance.

My question is this. Can I bake recipes like muffins, cake, brownies with shredded coconut, or must I use actual coconut flour? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Kind Regards,
Jay
