One of my favorite food finds is Bob’s Red Mill’s Organic Coconut Flour, a mildly flavored gluten-free flour that is high in protein and fiber. You can replace up to 20 percent of the flour called for in a recipe with coconut flour, adding an equivalent amount of liquid to the mix. Top these coconut flour pancakes with toasted coconut flakes, banana slices, and shaved dark chocolate.
