This recipe is sugar-free and grain-free. Coconut flour is a great alternative to ordinary baking flours if you want to go grain-free. Coconut flour is gluten-free, low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. It is also a bit lighter than almond flour, which makes it perfect for cakes, muffins and breads.
Personally, I find it difficult to work with coconut flour. It crumbs very quickly and you need to have a lot of patience. This recipe works well with coconut flour, but beware if you want to substitute coconut flour in cakes and other recipes that require baking.
The chopped strawberries and cream cheese gives you the same satisfaction as scone and cream. This is a great low-carb delight and a must try!
