Ingredients & Substitutions

• Coconut flour – A great gluten-free option for baking. If you want to substitute with almond flour, you’ll need to adjust the ratio (about 3 times more almond flour).
• Eggs – These give the bread structure and moisture. Make sure they are room temperature for better mixing.
• Melted coconut oil – A healthy fat that adds richness. Unsalted butter is also a good substitute.
• Unsweetened almond milk – Any milk of your choice works, but almond milk keeps the carbs low.
• Baking powder – Helps the bread rise. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results.
• Salt – Enhances the flavor of the bread.
• Erythritol – Optional for a touch of sweetness. You can also use stevia or monk fruit, but adjust to taste.

How to Make It: Simple Instructions for Perfect Results

1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using parchment paper, line your loaf pan with it to make for easy removal later.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and erythritol (if using). This will ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted coconut oil and almond milk. Mix until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter. The coconut flour will absorb a lot of moisture, so don’t be surprised if the batter seems thick—that’s normal!

5. Pour into Loaf Pan
Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

6. Bake
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool
Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Helpful Hints to Elevate Your Recipe

• Store Properly: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Customize: Feel free to add herbs, spices, or cheese for added flavor! Garlic powder or Italian seasoning can give it a nice twist.
• Slice Thin: Since coconut flour bread is denser than traditional bread, slicing it thinner can make it easier to enjoy with your favorite toppings.

Storage Tips: Keep Your Recipe Fresh for Longer

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Refrigerator: Can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freezer: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.

Can I substitute coconut flour for other flours?

Must-Have Equipment for This Keto Recipe

• Mixing Bowl: A large mixing bowl is needed to combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before blending them together into a smooth batter.
• Whisk: Use a whisk to ensure that your dry ingredients, such as the coconut flour and baking powder, are evenly distributed before adding the wet ingredients. It also helps beat the eggs smoothly.
• Loaf Pan (8×4 inches): A standard 8×4-inch loaf pan works perfectly to shape and bake your bread. If you prefer easy removal, you can line the pan with parchment paper.
• Parchment Paper (Optional): If you prefer easy removal of your loaf after baking, lining your pan with parchment paper will do the trick and prevent sticking.
