Why Arrowroot & Coconut Flour Work on Keto (with Caution)
Coconut flour is a keto staple, thanks to its high fiber content and low net carbs. Just 2 tablespoons of coconut flour contain around 5 grams of fiber and only 4 grams of net carbs (USDA data).
Arrowroot flour, while not as low-carb as almond or coconut flour, is often used in small amounts to add elasticity and softness to baked goods. In this recipe, it balances the dense nature of coconut flour. Used sparingly, arrowroot can be part of a keto-friendly recipe without spiking carb intake.
Rosemary and garlic powder not only enhance the taste but also offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. According to research, rosemary may also improve digestion and boost memory.
