If you haven’t tried Coffee Flour yet, you should! You can read about our first adventures with it here. 
So what is it exactly? Coffee Flour is a gluten-free flour made from the fruit and skin of dried coffee cherries. It has a mild, earthy flavor with fruity undertones, making it a subtle, yet nutritionally potent addition to many of the foods you know and love. It has more fiber than whole grain wheat flour, is packed with protein, potassium and antioxidants, plus it is a great way to use something that is usually waste for coffee farmers.
We loved using it in our favorite brownie recipe, but it is also great in granola recipes, crackers and pizza.
