Common Questions Answered

Wondering about substitutions or storage? Here’s what you need to know:
Can I use another flour? Coconut flour is essential for this recipe, but if you have allergies, you can try almond flour.

Keep in mind, this will change it from coconut flour bread to almond flour bread.

How do I store this bread? Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Freezing slices is also a great option for longer storage.

Can I make this bread dairy-free? Yes! Use coconut oil instead of butter.

Delicious Variations

Try adding nuts and seeds for extra crunch. Or, sprinkle in some sugar-free chocolate chips for a sweet twist.

The possibilities are endless.

If your keto bread turns out a greenish color, then do not worry, it’s perfectly safe to eat. It has to do with the baking powder and the chemical reaction while baking.

How to Make Low Carb Coconut Flour Bread

Making low carb bread doesn’t have to be hard, but there are a few key steps to ensure the best taste. Here’s how you can make a delicious loaf of keto coconut flour bread:

Prepare Your Ingredients:
Use room temperature butter or coconut oil, and the same goes for your eggs. If your butter is straight from the fridge, warm it gently until it starts to melt but avoid boiling it to prevent cooking the eggs while mixing.

Essential Add-ins:
Baking powder and xanthan gum are crucial. Without these, your bread might not bind properly or rise enough, which could cause it to sink after baking.

Combine Ingredients:
I love making easy keto recipes, and this one is straightforward. Just combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, then pour the batter into an 8.5 X 5-inch loaf tin and bake. You can tweak the recipe to suit your taste.

Ingredient Swaps:
While I’m using butter, you can substitute it with coconut oil or olive oil to make the bread dairy-free. Personally, I prefer butter for its flavor. Using coconut oil might give the bread a strong coconut taste since we’re already using coconut flour.

Improve Texture:
Including baking powder and xanthan gum is essential for a good rise and texture. Xanthan gum makes the bread fluffier. If you’re using it, add half a teaspoon to the dry ingredients.

Adjust Moisture:
Coconut flour needs more moisture because it’s very absorbent. If you substitute coconut flour with almond flour, you’ll need a larger quantity of almond flour. Start with one cup of almond flour for every one-fourth cup of coconut flour.

Baking Steps:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and mix well.
Add coconut flour, softened butter, salt, erythritol, xanthan gum, and baking powder to the eggs, and mix until thoroughly combined. The batter should be very thick.
Line an 8.5 X 5-inch loaf tin with parchment paper and pour in the batter evenly.

Bake and Cool:
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the bread.
Let the bread cool completely in the loaf pan to maintain its shape before slicing.

Storage:
Slice the keto bread and keep it in the fridge for a few days, or store it in the freezer for up to three months.
