I changed the name of this recipe because of some of the additional ingredients I added. The original recipe came from a cookbook called COOKING WITH COCONUT FLOUR by Bruce Fife. This recipe is BIG on flavor because of the variety of peppers and other ingredients in the recipe. It is very tasty and so delicious, especially when its is hot from the oven. This recipe only uses a quarter cup of coconut flour, such a small amount goes a long way. It was great with the Navy Bean Soup that I made with added spinach and carrots. Give it a try I am sure you will love it as much as we did.
