Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Bread:

• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey (optional, for a slightly sweet flavor)

Optional Add-ins:

• 2 tbsp flaxseeds or chia seeds for extra fiber
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds for topping
• ½ tsp garlic powder or dried herbs for a savory twist

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• 9×5-inch loaf pan
• Parchment paper
• Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
Make sure there are no lumps for the best texture.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and honey if using.
Whisk until well combined.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Mix gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms.
Let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes; coconut flour absorbs liquid and thickens quickly.

Step 5: Transfer and Smooth
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle optional seeds on top if desired.

Step 6: Bake the Bread
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The top should be lightly golden and firm to the touch.

Step 7: Cool and Slice
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Then lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips for Perfect Low Carb Coconut Flour Bread
Use Room Temperature Eggs – They mix better and help the bread rise more evenly.
Let the Batter Rest – Coconut flour needs a few minutes to absorb the liquids properly.
Don’t Overbake – Check early to prevent the bread from becoming too dry.
Slice Carefully – Coconut flour bread is delicate; use a serrated knife for clean slices.
Store Properly – Wrap tightly to keep the bread moist and fresh.

Serving Suggestions
Toasted with Butter – A simple and satisfying breakfast or snack.
Sandwich Bread – Perfect for keto-friendly sandwiches with turkey, cheese, and veggies.
Avocado Toast – Top with mashed avocado, a sprinkle of salt, and chili flakes.
With Soup or Salad – A hearty low-carb side for lighter meals.

How to Store & Freeze

Storing:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freezing:

• Slice the bread first, then freeze slices in a zip-top bag.
• Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
