Keto Approved Recipes Using Coconut Flour
Baking with all-purpose flour is one of the easiest and accessible types of flours to purchase. We have all become accustomed to baking with it because it is generally the most popular choice. Starting a new diet when we are used to our old ways of cooking and baking can seem like a frightening task. Don’t be frightened as we are here to help you!
The Keto diet as you probably know by now follows a low-carb, high-fat and a sufficient amount of protein regime. Using coconut flour in your baking and cooking is an excellent choice to help you stay on track with your Keto diet goals. Coconut flour is high in fiber (great for digestion) provides an excellent source of protein and healthy fats and is free from wheat and other grains. We have organized 15 exceptional recipes made with coconut flour that are Keto diet approved, you’ll want to try these.

Protein bars make a great afternoon pick-me-up snack as well as an excellent after workout snack. So many ingredients are available to us that we no longer need to buy certain things store bought-such as protein bars. Also, consider how expensive protein bars can be, I would really rather make my own with wholesome ingredients rather than spending up to 5 dollars on one protein bar.
Not only are these protein bars allowed on your Keto diet but they’re tasty too. Think of Reese’s pieces and protein bars mixed together. I’m a true peanut butter and chocolate fan and love any of the like that contain the combination. The coconut flour, protein powder, and peanut butter combination help give the protein bars center a fudgy texter. That’s a melt in my mouth kind of snack I want to be a part of!
