Try these coconut flour recipes for scrumptious yet healthy keto-friendly dishes.
Going on a keto or low-carb diet doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to sweet breakfasts and desserts.
While coconut flour sometimes gets a bad rap in the baking world, I’m here to defend it.
Coconut flour is a great source of fiber, protein, fat, and minerals, making it a relatively healthier option.
Some say it makes baked goods dry and dense, and that may be true to a certain extent.
But if you arm yourself with information on how to use it right, coconut flour will reward you with scrumptious, low-carb treats.
Want sweet breakfasts and scrumptious desserts and still keep the carbs and sugar at bay? These coconut flour recipes are here to save the day.
1. Coconut Flour Cookies
What better way is there to start a selection of sweets than with chocolate chip cookies?
These cookies are flavored with peanut butter and dotted with chocolate chip cookies.
Just like chocolate chip cookie dough, they’re soft, pillowy, and bursting with decadence.
The use of coconut flour and coconut sugar make these treats low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly.
2. Coconut Flour Brownies
If you’re a chocoholic, these brownies are for you!
They’re chewy around the edges and ridiculously fudgy and ooey-gooey in the middle. The level of chocolatey goodness is off-the-charts.
This recipe is proof that unlike what some people think, coconut flour can yield extremely moist baked goods.
These brownies have no hint of dryness in them at all.
As an added bonus, this recipe is embarrassingly easy. It’s so simple, you can do it with your eyes closed.
3. Coconut Flour Pancakes
While I’m no stranger to making indulgent dishes, I also like to experiment with healthy ingredients once in a while.
Hence, these coconut flour pancakes. I was surprised by how these guys turned out super light and fluffy despite the use of coconut flour.
I’ll actually go out on a limb here and say these pancakes are better than most traditional ones.
The reason? They’re equally as great, but they won’t make you feel so heavy and guilty afterward.
4. Coconut Flour Muffins
Here are light and fluffy blueberry muffins ready in just 15 minutes.
If a healthy yet effortless breakfast is what you’re looking for, this recipe has you covered.
They’re studded with blueberries and infused with keto-friendly honey and vanilla.
These muffins are lightly sweet and exploding with a fruity flavor.

Unlike some banana bread out there with an artificial taste, this banana bread gives you 100% banana goodness.

It’s flavored with very ripe bananas, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and a splash of vanilla.
This banana bread has just the right amount of sweetness.
9. Keto Bagels – Coconut Flour Fat Head Dough
Fathead dough is a gluten-free and low-carb dough made with cream cheese, mozzarella, eggs, and almond or coconut flour.
It was originally intended to make low-carb pizza crust but was eventually adapted to make other bread-based recipes.
These hearty bagels happen to be one of them.
10. Keto Mug Cake – Chocolate, Vanilla, or Peanut Butter
I was once a non-believer of mug cakes. I mean, how on earth is it possible to create an actual cake by just using a mug and a microwave oven?
The whole thing seemed like a scam to me. You can just imagine how mind-blown I was when I actually tried it.
This recipe in particular doesn’t just work wonderfully, it’s also versatile.
With just a simple addition, you can make either chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter cake.

How can something be so indulgent be keto-friendly and gluten-free, you ask?
The answer is simple: Stevia and Swerve sweeteners.
12. Keto Coconut Flour Waffles
Start your day with a bang with these sensational waffles. They’re crispy on the outside, firm and fluffy on the inside, and amazing in every bite.
Just like any other waffles, feel free to garnish these with your favorite waffle toppings.
I like to keep things simple with just butter and maple syrup. If you’d like to keep these waffles keto, just use keto maple.
13. Coconut Flour Crepes
How about something French for your weekend breakfast? These thin pancakes are light as a feather.
These crepes make for a great blank breakfast canvass. For a savory morning meal, fill them with ham and cheese.
If you like to start your day with something sweet, pair them with your favorite nut butter and fresh berries.
14. Coconut Flour Shortbread Cookies
These shortbread cookies are light and buttery with a tender and chewy texture.
The batter is made with a simple mix of coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, and salt.

You can serve the cookies as they are, or make them extra by dipping them in melted dark chocolate.
