Calories 29kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut sugar (also called coconut palm sugar)
- 1 tbsp. arrowroot starch/flour (tapioca starch/flour works too)
Instructions
- Add coconut sugar and arrowroot starch to a high-speed blender or coffee grinder.
- Start by blending on med-low speed and then increase to high. Blend for 30-45 seconds, or until it's light brown in color and a powdered texture is formed. Let sit for 30 seconds in blender so you don't get blasted with a cloud of powdered sugar smoke :)
- Store powdered coconut sugar in a mason jar or another airtight container.
Notes
- Recipe makes about 1 ¼ cup powdered coconut sugar. Nutrition information is calculated off of 1 tablespoon.
- You can sub tapioca starch/powder, or even corn starch, for the arrowroot starch/powder (arrowroot and tapioca starches are sometimes labeled as flours or powders; as long as arrowroot or tapioca is called out, it's the same thing).
- Powdered coconut sugar is a great substitute for white powdered sugar in glazes and frosting. Powdered coconut sugar is brown though; your glaze and frosting will be brown, not white like when using regular powdered sugar.
