Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup coconut flour sifted for best texture
  • 0.33 cup ground flaxseed meal adds fiber and structure
  • 0.25 cup arrowroot powder or tapioca flour optional but helps soften the crumb
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder make sure it’s fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt enhances flavor
Wet Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup avocado oil or melted refined coconut oil neutral in flavor
  • 0.33 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk such as almond or coconut
  • 2 tablespoons honey optional or replaceable for keto

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, milk, and honey until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix coconut flour, ground flax, arrowroot powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until fully combined.
  4. Optional: For a fluffier texture, separate eggs. Whip whites to stiff peaks. Mix yolks with wet ingredients. Gently fold whipped whites into the batter.
  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds and flaxseed on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Toast slices before serving for best texture.

Notes

To make this coconut flour bread fully keto, replace the honey with monk fruit syrup. Omit arrowroot powder for lower carbs. Always let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Use a paleo-friendly baking powder by mixing cream of tartar and baking soda.
