This is probably one of your main questions since the recipe uses a good amount of coconut flour. Coconut flour is not as flavorsome as desiccated coconut because it is made from the leftovers of soaked coconut meat while making coconut milk. As the coconut meat is soaked, then dried, the coconut flavor is washed off. So, except if you absolutely dislike coconut flavor, you won't taste much coconut in these bars.
