Coconut flour tends to need a lot more liquid so might be best to look specifically for a recipe that uses it.

Coconut flour is very dense. It absorbs a lot of liquids. So for each portion of coconut flour you use, you will need to add equal amounts of liquid (water, coconut oil/butter, coconut milk, raw milk etc). So if you use 1/4 cup coconut flour, you will need to add 1/4 cup of liquids or a combination of liquids.

Or adapt using this info ^
