How to grind Coconut Flakes into Coconut Flour
The FULL tutorial on how to grind coconut flakes into coconut flour, with photos and step by step instructions, is here!
If you are smart, you will use real coconut flour. If you don't have real coconut flour, and are grinding up your vintage 2004 Tropical Traditions coconut flour, read on.
Put about a cup of coconut flakes in your VitaMix "Dry Container." Make sure there is no moisture in the container or you will get coconut glue.
Turn machine and quickly "walk it up" to 10, then on HIGH and let it run for 30 seconds. The coconut will be whirring through the container. Tamp down the sides, to get all the coconut back on the bottom of the machine. In 15 second intervals, grind coconut down, on HIGH. Scrape down, blend again on HIGH if needed, until the coconut flakes turn into a chunky flour.
Don't grind for more than 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or you may begin to release the moisture in the coconut. This won't greatly affect pancakes, but it is worth watching out for!
Grinding coconut in the VitaMix is not going to give you a fine flour, but the coconut flakes will grind finer than an almond meal.
Congratulations - you just ground your own coconut flour! Use as you would coconut flour - remembering that coconut flour is used in SMALL doses and reacts VERY differently than regular GF flours! A little bit of coconut flour goes a LONG way!
