Hi Erica, I made the chocolate cake and cheddar biscuits. The chocolate cake was fabulous, but the cheddar biscuits (page 43) needed some tweaking. The batter was very thin (it puddled) when following the recipe. Is it possible that the ratio of milk to flour is off?
The recipe states 1 1/4 cups (300ml) of milk and 2/3 cup (70g) of coconut flour. I had to add a lot of oat flour to get a good consistency.
Thanks for checking this. I used butter and oat milk instead of coconut milk because ‘other milk’ was an option. BTW I have your SCD book as well. We’re following the IBD-AID diet for my daughter and your books have greatly expanded our meal and snack choices. Thanks again 🙂
My neighbor suggested I try your site. I have just been diagnosted with Diverticulitus. No berries, seed, nuts, and easy on the gut recipes. This will be a life time of change but hopefully sites like your will make it easier. Any recipes on your site that you recommend for this condition. I am allergic to almonds and garlic as well. The Coconut Flour Cookbook has recipes using coconut, which is not a tree-nut, so you may want to consider using just coconut flour.
Hi there, I have a question on the coconut flour cookbook. I have allergies to dairy and eggs on top of gluten, and am trying to stay low glycemic. Are there suggestions in your book for replacing dairy and egg products for various recipes? Lower glycemic option by chance?
Wow, you’re timing is great. I’m working on a bunch of recipes for low glycemic and keto. I’ll try to post the basics of how to sub with low glycemic soon and then stay tuned for more on the recipes! For egg, you can usually use up to 2 flaxseed eggs to replace eggs.
Hi, just found your site and looking forward to giving some of your recipes a try, i was was also wondering if your coconut flour cookbook recipes are all (or at least the majority) SCD friendly? it sounds great.
I am delighted to have discovered both your website. I’ve just ordered The Coconut Flour Cookbook and can’t wait to receive it. I’m always looking for healthier alternatives and am very interested (but not yet experienced) in using coconut flour, but I’m sure your book will change that!
Hello! Trying to enter contest – not sure if I am doing this right! Our favorite recipe is the coconut pancakes. I am a 40 year old mother of 3 daughters (8-6-4). My 6 year old and I suffer from many digestive problems and truly appreciate you taking the time to post recipes, advice, etc. Coconut flour is really the only safe flour for her – so thank you-thank you- thank you!

Thanks, Greta! I’m going to check the recipe soon. Which fat did you use? Butter or ?

Thank you! So great to hear. I think that’s the trick, which is having enough meal choices to keep you going.

Welcome! You can go to the recipe index and look for recipes that are nut-free and so on.
Does this cookbook work for the SCD diet also?
Most of the recipes do, some do not. There are many that can easily be modified, for example, replacing maple syrup with honey.

Yes, many are SCD. Check out the book page for more info: https://comfybelly.wpengine.com/2014/05/healthy-coconut-flour-cookbook/

I of course meant to say “both your website and cookbooks.” Sorry, very tired over here :-/
🙂
Aw, thanks! I hope you enjoy it! Best wishes.

Hi Amy! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. I’ll consider you entered, but the comments are in the chocolate chip scone post. Best wishes, Erica
