Those do sound really good, but I would have no idea where to find coconut flour, short of ordering it online.

Hi Elle,
I dont know if you have a bulk barn but they are now carrying it here.
have a good day

Elle,
I got mine at Vitamin Cottage and I noticed that Wild Oats was also carrying it.

They are opening a Whole Foods near me in the next year...do they have it there? I should also check Wegmans.

Wegmans!!! I loved Wegman when I lived in PA for 2 years, we don't have one now and won't in NC either. I have seen coconut flour at Trader Joe's though. These muffins sound great, I just wish the reciope didn't calculate "effective carbs" --- I usually go by actual carbs instead of Net carbs.

Since the amount of fiber is also listed, you can just add the two together. So 2 effective carbs plus 3.5 grams fiber equals 5.5 total carbs.

I have the opposite problem. I subtract fiber, so it's always annoying when a recipe mentions carbs without also listing the fiber. Luckily, most LC sites and recipes add the fiber. But "mainstream" magazines and newspapers don't always do it.

We do have a Trader Joes about 10 miles from here. I'll try to get over there sometime...it's not in an area I really ever go to, but DH could stop by there on the way home from the airport. Thanks for the tip!

Which is funny because American's are being told to eat more fiber, at least 25g per day.

I have unsweetened dessicated coconut -- can I sub that for coconut flour? Or should I put it in the blender to make it a more flour-like consistency? Any ideas?

Is coconut powder the same as coconut flour?
