Is there a substitute for almond flour?

Anyone know how to substitute almond flour for coconut flour?

• I am trying to make a paleo vanilla shortbread, and the recipe calls for coconut flour. I have no cooking experience with coconut flour (and no coconut flour in my pantry) and I need the shortbread by Tuesday. I have seen people posting warnings that you need more egg with coconut flour? Does anyone know a substitution ratio?

• Answer:

  Almond flour is a popular choice because of its health benefits, but it makes a poor substitute for coconut flour. Its light consistency means that you must add a substantial amount of extra flour when substituting for coconut. Try 1 1/3 c. almond flour for every 1 c. coconut flour that the recipe includes. Also decrease the recipe's liquid by about one third. If needed, add water 1 tbsp. at a time at the end.
