Coconut and Apple Traybake Recipe (Gluten Free)

I love coconut! and if you do too, you’ll love my gluten free coconut and apple traybake recipe.

Having only discovered it recently, I have loved learning to bake with coconut flour. It has so many of the great qualities of baking with wheat flour minus the gluten. It is super absorbent so you use about a third of what you would in a cake using wheat flour. It’s also important to add a little more egg than you would do normally.

I’ve ramped up the coconut in this beautiful traybake by using coconut flour, oil and coconut sugar. So if you’re not keen on coconut it might not be the traybake for you.
