As I mentioned in the making homemade coconut milk post, I've been making this milk weekly. After draining the milk through a cheesecloth and wringing out every last drop, what's left behind is a fine, light, fluffy, coconut type flour. This is not the same as the coconut flour you would buy as it has not been dried. I assume it is mostly fiber?
I hated to throw it away, so I kept it in the refrigerator in a sealed glass container. Tom was throwing a spoonful here and there in his shakes but it was accumulating fast. So, I decided to get creative and try this as a replacement to almond flour in my One Minute Muffin recipe. And wouldn't you know it, they turned out beautifully!
