Ingredients

▢7 Large Eggs

▢1/2 cup Coconut Flour

▢1/2 cup Butter 120g / 4 oz (use 1/2 cup olive/coconut oil for dairy free)

▢1/4 tsp Salt

▢1/4 tsp baking powder (aluminium free if possible)

▢1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 C (355 F).
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix for 1 minute until well combined.
  • Add the coconut flour, butter, salt, baking powder and xanthan gum, and mix until completely combined. The mixture will become quite thick.
  • Line an 8.5 X 5-inch (21.5 x 12.7 cm) loaf tin with parchment paper and pour the batter into the tin. Level the top with a spatula if uneven.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out of the middle clean.
  • Nutrition information is for 1 slice. Slice and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. This bread freezes well.





Tips & Notes:

  • Please make sure that when you’re baking this recipe, that you use aluminium-free baking powder.
  • The reason is that if you accidentally use too much regular baking powder, it can turn a green colour in the bottom section of the bread.
  • Don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s your baking powder.
  • Baking powder with aluminium reacts to acidic ingredients like coconut, causing this greenish colour and what many people find to be a “tinny” or metallic taste.
  • Fortunately, this doesn’t make the bread harmful to eat, it just might look a little strange. It’s perfectly fine to eat.


Tips for Dairy Free Coconut Bread

  • To make this keto coconut bread dairy free, all you have to do is substitute the butter with olive oil.
  • I’ve tried this and it works very well, although admittedly doesn’t taste quite as good as using butter.
  • Coconut oil would also work, but I prefer using olive oil as it has a better taste (especially because you are already using coconut flour in the mix).
