I've never used Bob's Red Mill before so I'll have to pick some up to compare. I wish they would standardize coconut flour as it can vary quite a bit when it comes to absorbency.

HealthWorks; got it… just added it to my Amazon cart, so I’ll be trying again. Thanks for naming a brand. I can’t wait to try it. I used Bob's Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour which had worked fine when making similar, Coconut Flour only, chocolate chip cookies. I’m committed to mastering several treats to help keep us from burning out on our quest to stick with a Keto diet.

This can happen if the wrong type of coconut flour is used. If your coconut flour did not absorb enough liquid in the batter, it wan't the right kind. What brand did you use? I ran out once and picked up a bag at a local store and it wasn't defatted enough to work in my recipes. Now I make sure I always keep a supply of HealthWorks brand which has always worked well in my recipes.

Something is oh so wrong with this recipe.

I have a feeling it was the brand of coconut flour you used. Some are not as defatted as others. I picked up a bag locally recently and it ruined my recipe. The brand I like the best and always gives good results is Healthworks coconut flour.

Other changes would be needed so I don't recommend making that change. If you do want to try it, you'll need less liquid and less egg with more almond flour.

I'll use bamboo fibre "flour" in place of part of the flour in a recipe to add carb-free fibre. (A little goes a long way!)

The other trick I'll use is replacing half the sweetener in a recipe with inulin. It's a sweet fibre -- not quite as sweet as sugar, but that's fine with me.
