Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Loaf pan (8×4 inches)
• Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp erythritol (or preferred sweetener, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

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.
