    The AIP diet is pretty restrictive but one thing that is allowed and used very heavily in AIP recipes is coconut. If you have a sensitivity to coconut and you're doing the AIP diet, you've probably noticed it can be tricky to find certain types of recipes in a coconut-free version. 

    I've been blogging about AIP and making AIP recipes for a little under a year now and have become more and more aware of how many people have sensitivities to foods that are abundant in AIP recipes. Coconut is a sensitivity/allergy I've been hearing about pretty frequently, so I felt it was only fitting to do a roundup of great coconut-free recipes.

    This post is focused mainly on desserts and baked goods because they are typically the hardest to find coconut-free, but I've also included some recipes for drinks, sauces/dips, and savory dishes here too. 

    When I was doing my search, I found that it was surprisingly difficult to find AIP coconut-free recipes for certain things. Sometimes, recipes are coconut-free but aren't necessarily labeled as such so they don't pop up in a "coconut-free" search OR you search "coconut free" but get a bunch of results for foods with coconut. Very frustrating and time-consuming! Anyhow, I think I found some awesome recipes and I hope you enjoy them!
