Total Time: 70 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and free of any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add the melted coconut oil and honey (if using), and mix until completely incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir carefully and thoroughly until a smooth batter forms, making sure there are no dry flour pockets.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with no wet batter.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper, lift the loaf out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the bread and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to help them blend more smoothly and create a consistent batter.
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements, especially with almond and coconut flour, to guarantee the perfect texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - stir just until ingredients are combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- If the bread browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning while continuing to bake.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it maintain its structure and prevent crumbling.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients, or sprinkle seeds on top before baking.
- This bread freezes beautifully - slice before freezing and separate with parchment paper for easy individual servings.
