Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- Optional: Seeds (such as chia, sesame, or sunflower) for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a standard-sized loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking soda, and salt. Ensure that there are no lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Add melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and almond or coconut milk to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, so the batter will be thicker than traditional bread dough.
- Let the Batter Rest:
- Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes to let the coconut flour absorb the liquid fully.
- Transfer to Loaf Pan:
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Optional Seed Topping:
- Sprinkle seeds of your choice on top of the batter for added texture.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Keep an eye on it, as coconut flour can brown quickly.
- Cool:
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, slice the bread and enjoy! It’s great toasted or as a sandwich bread.
