Coconut flour is basically what is left of coconut flesh after the oil has been extracted, but it does still contain the medium chain trigyceride fats that are in coconut oil.
In a two tablespoon portion of coconut flour, you can expect 1.5g of fat (15 kCal), 1g of which is saturated fats.
Coconut flour is highly absorbent, so when cooking with it, you should add an extra liquid equal to the volume of coconut flour used, in addition to what the recipe recommends (if you are using coconut flour in a recipe that asks for wheat flour. If the recipe was written for coconut flour, follow the recipe as written). Using coconut oil instead of water as your additional liquid will give a better flavour and batter consistency. So if your recipe uses 2 cups of coconut flour, add 2 cups of coconut oil.
It sounds a lot, but the flour will absorb it very fast.
