In terms of health benefits, being naturally gluten-free is the main advantage that coconut flour has over all-purpose flour which is great news for anybody with gluten allergy or nut allergies and celiac disease. It is lower in carbohydrates and is therefore suitable for a lower carbohydrate diet. Best results are seen when mixed with one or two other alternative flours such as nut flours, oat flour, chickpea flour, which can help increase binding. Regular wheat flour gains its stickiness (binding) because of gluten.
