Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut flour, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them until they are well combined. Add 1/4 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of almond milk to the eggs, and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you achieve a thick batter. If the batter appears too dry, you can add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the batter is well mixed, pour it into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- When the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the toasted coconut bread and serve it as desired. It can be enjoyed plain, with butter, or as part of a sandwich. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh coconut flour and shredded coconut. This will enhance the tropical taste of your bread.
- Monitor Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your bread during the last few minutes of baking. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted into the center.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to mix in some dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Store Properly: To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for longer shelf life.
- Serve Warm: For the ultimate experience, slice and serve the bread warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey.
