Anyone ever bake with Coconut flour or Almond meal flour?

[Saemma]

I purchased these today and I will attempt to make some birdie squares with them.

Nobody? A bunch of Parrot Betty Crockers and nobody uses Coconut flour?

I've used almond flour in birdie bread before, but never even heard of coconut flour! Is it just like finely ground coconut meat, or?

 

[Saemma]

Coconut flour is fine and powdering just like most other flours. We'll see what the SO comes up with when I'm away. I have some ideas of what I would like to do with it.

Nikki just posted a blog entry recently about making a grain-free bread using coconut and almond flours The Cheeky Parrot: Coconut Blueberry Birdie Bread

Thanks Coco! It looks like a great recipe!

Saemma, what did you come up with? I regularly cook with chickpea flour (I make crackers out of it) but just got coconut flour todya for the first time and was looking for recipes. I swear I thought I saw one for healthy birdie pancakes.......

 

[Lauren and Jack]

sounds like such a great idea. Jack loves sweet potato cooked in coconut milk... But I think I will try that... Please let us know how they turn out.

Yup, I have used Almond meal! It is the only way I can get almonds in their little bellies!

I've used almond flour but not coconut. I'll have to look for that as I bet it gives a nice flavor

I use coconut flour in cookies for us humans. Haven't used it parrot related meals, though

Not almond because of my allergy, but coconut all the time! Being gluten free, I use lots of different flours... for bird or dog items, or things like pancakes for myself, I just replace the regular flour in any recipe. Occasionally it does not work, but usually, it is just fine!

Never heard of either! Is it something I can find at say...Safeway?
