If like me, you’ve been following healthy-eating websites for a while, you already know how quickly coconut flour has become popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason is simple: it possesses a lot of nutritional benefits<\/strong> compared to other flours. It is gluten-free, grain-free, rich in dietary fiber and full of protein and healthy fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking with coconut flour is not as easy as with other types of flours, though. It does not have the same texture and it does not stick together very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastries and bread baked with it will usually crumble more easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t very confident at first, seeing that the flour had a grainier texture than regular wheat flour, but as you can see in the pictures, the end result is pretty… and very tasty as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus my kids gave it two thumbs up<\/strong>, so I can say that it is a complete success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its amazing taste along with its multiple nutritional benefits easily overcomes the slightly increased difficulty level!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is made out of 100%  real foods and I used the healthiest ingredients<\/strong> possible. This is also a Paleo recipe, so if you are following this trend, then this recipe is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are My Lemon Raspberry Muffins a Little Crumbly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, we are using coconut flour, which tends to make pastries and baked goods a little more fragile. To compensate for this, I have added 4 eggs, which helps, but to make sure they hold their shape like a traditional muffin, I would have to reduce the amount of moisture in the recipe to a point where the muffins would be dry and much less tasty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What If I don’t Like Coconut?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have a very mild, almost imperceptible coconut taste. But if you happen to have a coconut intolerance or allergy, you will want to replace coconut flour with almond flour. Although I haven’t tried it for this particular recipe, you can usually replace coconut flour on a ratio of: 1\/4 coconut flour for 1 cup almond flour, which would translate to 2 cups almond flour here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
