Let’s talk about coconuts! I’ve always liked coconut, but since switching our family’s diet to a more whole food, paleo-friendly diet, I love coconut. Coconut fruit, coconut oil, coconut cream, coconut flour, coconut sugar, coconut aminos, coconut water… Coconut (which isn’t actually a nut) is such a versatile ingredient and can replace a whole host of less healthy or allergenic options.
Today I’m celebrating all things coconut with the help of some very talented bloggers who also happen to love coconut. I’ve got 40 gluten-free recipes for you, all featuring the majestic coconut! (Whew! Bet you’ve never seen so many coconuts in one itty bitty blog post intro!)

What’s your favourite way to get your coconut fix?
Pinning this round-up ASAP! Love all the tasty options — thanks so much for including me Olivia!
I can’t wait to try your carrot coconut muffins! I was thinking of adding just a little cream cheese icing for fun.
Wow! What a great list of recipes and ideas. I have pinned it so I can start experimenting with these. I’m a late comer to eating coconut because I was always put off as a child by German Chocolate Cake which was ruined (in my opinion) by adding the shredded coconut!
I have gotten over that problem since I needed to eliminate dairy and have discovered that coconut really is great to cook with and well, tastes pretty good.
I just made ice cream using coconut milk and carmelized bananas and it was great. I use coconut water in my smoothies every day and I bake with coconut oil.
Thanks again for the wonderful recipes to try!
What a nice variety of coconut recipes. That chia pudding looks so good!
I made gluten-free coconut flour churros before! SOOO GOOD!
