How to Make Coconut Flour Bread Recipe (Gluten & Grain FREE)

Well… because… BREAD.

The chewiness, warmth, and crustiness are enough to make you want to close your eyes and kiss that fresh loaf. A nice hunk of bread is simply love… in food form.

BUT, then there is the whole gluten thing. Ugh.

With food allergies and intolerances on the rise, a growing number of people are recognizing the damaging effects of eating gluten-rich foods, such as bread. Symptoms of gluten sensitivity include: “foggy mind,” depression, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, ADHD, fatigue, headaches and abdominal pain.

I am WAY too familiar with these irritating symptoms, which is what sent me on a path to find a bread that is kind and gentle for my body.

And ALAS – I found my way to Coconut Flour Bread!

How To Make Coconut Flour Bread

Ingredients

¾ cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of sea salt

4 whole eggs
3 eggs, separated
4-5 tbsp organic, grass-fed butter

3 tbsp coconut milk
1 tbsp raw honey
Organic, cold-pressed, unrefined virgin coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit.
Lightly grease a loaf pan using the coconut oil. Line the pan with baking paper and spread another coating of oil.

With a handheld electric whisk, beat 3 egg whites until they become stiff (set the yolk aside).
With a food processor, mix together: 3 yolks, 4 whole eggs, butter, coconut milk and honey.
Slowly mix into the food processor: coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Combine everything to create a thick batter.

Pour the batter into a large mixing bowl.
Fold in the egg whites (from step 3).
Place the mixture into the loaf pan and bake at 325 F for 40 minutes.

Note: The top will brown, but the mixture will NOT have throughly cooked yet. Cover the loaf pan, reduce the heat to 275 and cook an additional 5-10 minutes
Remove the loaf pan from the oven. Take the bread out of the pan and set on a wire rack to cool.
Once the loaf is completely cooled (about an hour), it is ready to slice and eat!
