Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 9x5-inch loaf pan
- 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
- 1 Spatula or Spoon
- 1 Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Coconut Flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- ½ cup Coconut Oil melted
- 2 tablespoons Honey or preferred sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/3 cup Water or as needed to adjust consistency
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil or cooking spray.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the dry ingredients.
Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until combined. The batter will be thick—this is normal due to the absorbent nature of coconut flour.
Adjust Consistency
- Add 1/3 cup of water to the batter and stir. If needed, add more water (a tablespoon at a time) to reach a thicker but scoopable consistency.
Pour and Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Adjusting Sweetness: You can modify the level of sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of honey or sweetener used.
- Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually wrapped in plastic wrap.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
