• How many grams are in a teaspoon of coconut flour?
  One level teaspoon weighs about 2.67 g, which lines up with 8 g per tablespoon and 128 g per cup. Because each teaspoon is so small, the difference between level and heaped matters - a heaped teaspoon can be close to 4 g, which is 50% more flour and 50% more liquid uptake. Level the spoon with the back of a knife when a recipe specifies teaspoons.
• Is a teaspoon of coconut flour enough to thicken gravy?
  For a small skillet of pan gravy - say, a half cup of drippings - one teaspoon (about 2.67 g) is a reasonable starting dose. Whisk it into cold liquid first to avoid clumps, then bring up to a simmer; coconut flour will not give the glossy finish of a cornstarch slurry, but it adds body without gluten. For a full cup of gravy, two teaspoons is usually closer to the right amount.
• Can I add a teaspoon of coconut flour to a mug cake or single-serving recipe?
  Yes, and a teaspoon or two is often all a single-serving keto or paleo mug cake needs alongside almond flour. The coconut flour tightens the crumb and stops the cake from feeling greasy, but pair every added teaspoon (2.67 g) with a splash more milk or an extra egg yolk. Otherwise the microwave drives off enough moisture to leave a dry, spongy puck.
