Coconut Flour Bread Recipe

coconut-flour-bread sliced on a cutting board

The GAPS Diet doesn’t necessarily need to be bread-free. This coconut flour bread is a lovely way to fulfill the desire to serve buttered (or chia-jam smeared) bread alongside a delicious soup, make french toast for breakfast, or even make open-faced sandwiches for lunch.

This recipe produces either a sweet bread (puree in some apple sauce or date paste) or a savory bread by pureeing in onion.  In any case, this coconut flour bread recipe lacks gluten so is a bit more crumbly than gluten-based bread, but it can stand in its place with a few precautions.  This coconut flour bread doesn’t pack in lunchboxes particularly well (I recommend grain-free crepes for that), but it does toast deliciously!

This recipe is also found in my recent cookbook, 30 Days Grain-Free.

Delightful coconut flour bread recipe that can be made sweet or savory.
Print

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup butter ghee, or coconut oil, soft or melted
  • 1/3 cup applesauce or date paste for sweeter bread or 1 medium onion, pureed, for savory bread
  • 2 tablespoons honey find honey here
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt find sea salt here
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour find coconut flour here

Instructions

  1. Grease 1 standard sized loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans well with butter, ghee, or coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all ingredients until there are no lumps.
  3. Pour the batter into bread pan, filling ¾ full if dividing between multiple mini bread pans.
  4. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes for a standard sized loaf, or 25 minutes for mini loaves.
  5. Cooking time may vary as loaf pans vary in size; bread is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool before trying to remove bread from pan.
  7. To remove, gently run a butter knife around the outside edges, between the bread and the pan. Flip the bread pan over a plate and (hopefully) it will come out all in one piece.
  8. Turn right side up, slice as desired, and store, covered, in the fridge.

    Thank you so much for posting this! I have been looking for a easy grain bread recipe using coconut flour! I love that it’s like a quick bread so no yeast and rise time needed.

    Thanks Cara! Do you think I could sub 1 mashed banana instead of the apple sauce/date paste?

      Hi Emily! It may be worth a shot but I fear the amount of starch in the banana versus the apple might throw things off a bit. It might be easier to try a recipe that includes banana like this one: https://healthhomeandhappiness.com/grain-free-banana-nut-muffins.html but if it worked please let us know!

        Hi Cara,

        The coconut bread came out awesome. Thank you!

        If I wanted to substitute almond flour for the coconut flour, should I use the same amount? Thanks :)

      Hi Melissa, was it a ‘big normal’ loaf pan? That could have just spread it out further. What kind of coconut flour did you use? It doesn’t rise much, but the eggs do make it rise a bit. Also, is it throughly cooked (the center isn’t still wet?)

      If it’s good, but just flat, you can slice it crosswise like a bagel and still use it :)

        Yes, I suppose it could have been a big normal loaf pan. I will try to obtain a smaller one and try again! I also opted for the onion option but left the honey end, that was an interesting combination I think I might leave the honey out next time.

        I didn’t realize there were different kinds of coconut flour! I just got the one at my local health food store that said coconut flour.

        Yep, it was fully done! And it was decently tasty, minus the onion honey combo. Excellent suggestion on cutting it like a bagel! Thanks Cara!

          Hi Melissa, best of luck with your next loaf! I like Aloha-Nu, Tropical Traditions, or Nutiva coconut flour- they all seem to have the same really fine consistency.

      I have this in the oven now. I’m praying mine doesn’t come out flat. I’m wondering why there isn’t any baking soda added to this recipe. I am very familiar with SCD cooking and baking and baking side is SCD legal. I added 1/4 tsp so we will so how it turns out.

    Hello! I loved the bread (reminds me of cornbread)! Though I noticed that your nutrition info is “off”. I ran through a Recipe Nutrition calculator here is maybe something closer that what is listed here:

    Thanks so much!

    Hello Cara,

    Is there any way I can make this recipe without eggs? I’m new on the SCD and eggs hurt my belly, but all the recipes I seem to find call for eggs and I miss bread really badly. Please, help me on this one.
    Thank you

      Hi Maria, coconut flour does tend to use a lot of eggs. I can’t think of a recipe for bread that works on SCD but doesn’t use eggs, I’d recommend using meat patties, lettuce, or cheese in place of bread.

      It freezes okay. I like it best fresh, but it’s good in french toast or toasted after thawed! There tends to be a little condensation as it thaws.

    Is the 1/3 cup of coconut oil or ghee for the bread recipe itself or just for greasing the pan?

    I love this bread and its been so helpful in making meals more “creative”. Curious how long you would say it lasts for in the fridge? Sometimes its hard for me to finish in a week. Thank you!

    Just made this recipe and I feel it’s way too much coconut flour for that amount of eggs. I was also wondering about the baking soda. I will add it next time for sure.

    As I was using onion, I put garlic fermented honey instead of regular honey. I’m waiting for it to cool down to taste it. It smells promising :)

    Unfortunately this recipe isn’t GAPS compliant because it uses coconut flour. Dr. Natasha says there is too much fiber in coconut flour, and it doesn’t appear on the approved foods list at gapsdiet.com (although other coconut products like coconut oil, coconut milk and shredded coconut do).

      Interesting! I did GAPS 10 years ago with my daughter and we used lots of coconut flour. She tolerates it a lot better than almond flour, I’ll have to look into it.
