I created this coconut flour bread recipe for all my readers that need nut-free options. People have been asking me about how to make coconut flour bread for a long time. Most low carb bread recipes have nuts, which is a problem for those with nut allergies — and you can’t just replace almond flour with coconut flour, due to how absorbent coconut flour is. Personally, I make my fluffy keto white bread or almond flour bread most often, but this keto bread with coconut flour is a delicious alternative for those that can’t have nuts.

Even for those of us without allergies, you may be interested in this recipe if you have school-age kids, as many schools don’t allow nuts. I wanted a trusted coconut bread recipe that I can use for my own kids’ lunches, and this one works great for that!

One of my favorite parts about this bread is that even though it tastes delicious, it’s also loaded with good-for-you ingredients — like organic Hemp Hearts! Although plant-based, they contain complete protein, a solid omega 3:6 ratio, and are rich in antioxidants and minerals. I also use them to make hemp milk and for topping recipes like kale crunch salad and keto yogurt. Healthy bread never tasted so good!

Feel free to use different seeds in the same quantities, just make sure they are similar sizes. Too many large seeds will cause the coconut flour bread to fall apart too easily.

What does coconut flour bread taste like? Let’s be real here. Many coconut flour bread recipes are dense and dry. Coconut flour can be a little challenging to work with, because it’s so dense and absorbs so much liquid. And it’s coconut-ty, which is delicious on its own, but not so much what you want in a simple sandwich bread.

That’s why I spent a long time (5 trials!) testing and perfecting this version. Here are my key tricks to making coconut flour bread that actually tastes good:

Low Carb Keto Banana Bread Recipe (almond Flour)

None will compare, not even an almond flour bread recipe! You probably have all the ingredients need to make this easy low carb bread!

Atkins

Following a low-carb diet now for the last 5 years has led me to the deepest desire to make a real sandwich bread. The biggest struggle with making a keto bread is that in my home, my youngest has a tree nut allergy and almond flour isn't something I can use.

Learning to work with coconut flour has been challenging to say the least, but with the right amount of liquid, masterpieces can happen and this low carb bread is one of them!

Coconut Bread Recipe

The biggest difference with this bread and my Cloud Bread recipe is that it has substance. While the cloud bread is low carb, many people find it to have an egg taste.

It is great for making Cloud Bread French Toast, I felt it wasn't quite right for typical sandwiches I was hoping for, it's very airy and light. So the experimenting with coconut flour has continued for quite a few years.

The biggest issue and challenge with low carb bread recipes is always the lack of using gluten which comes from refined flours.

Paleo Bread (low Carb, High Protein)

Since there's no refined flours, wheat flour and no gluten in this recipe, replicating that chewy bite, soft airy texture and melt in your mouth flavor, has to be created in some other way.

I've done this with xanthan gum and aluminum free baking powder. This combination, plus a little bit of fiber from ground flaxseed is what makes this low carb bread resemble that texture you might remember from your prior carb eating.

Keto

A little bit of toasted sesame seeds on top before baking and this was the most amazing sandwich I've enjoyed in years! I couldn't wait to finish the photos so I could devour it!

Deidre's Low Carb Bread Recipe (made Keto!)

Most often when baking a bread with a ½ cup of coconut flour, it's quite dense, almost pound cake style. Many people who have tried coconut flour recipes think they hate coconut flour.

I recently made this Low Carb Flax Meal Bread and that's what gave me the idea to add some flax to this bread. The Flax Meal bread uses almond flour and has dairy in it so both of my kids can't enjoy that gluten-free recipe. I knew I had to develop something for my kids to enjoy as well and this one is it!

This coconut flour bread recipe can be made paleo simply by the heavy cream swap I mention in the recipe. My daughter has been having some issues with her stomach and dairy seems to be the culprit.

Keto Yeast Bread Recipe (easy & Low Carb)

So for a time now I've got plans to deliver more paleo recipes since my dear daughter is so sad about the loss of her beloved cream cheese, sour cream, and basically any cheese for that matter.

She's especially sad about the Keto Fathead Low Carb Cinnamon Rolls she loves that I make. I don't know if I can make those dairy free, but I may certainly try for her sake!

Obviously a homemade loaf of bread doesn't have all the artificial ingredients that make store bought, regular wheat bread on shelves has so it won't last as long as they do. After this keto coconut bread is cooled completely on a cooling rack, you can slice it and wrap it in aluminum foil.

Low Carb Flax Meal Bread

If you plan to eat it over the next 2-3 days it can stay on the counter. If you think you'll need a bit longer, you can store in the freezer wrapped well in an airtight container, with parchment between the slices. Then pull out the slices you want in the morning and toast.

Eggs, olive oil, cream or water, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, sweetener if using, leavening agent (I used baking powder), xanthan gum, salt and ground cinnamon.

A few notes: If you have chickens and very large eggs compared to store bought chicken eggs, you should use just 4-5 instead of 6.

This bread is not sweet although you see the sweetener in there. The slight hint of sweetness is needed in case you have a child like mine who can detect any coconut in a recipe.

Make sure your baking powder is aluminum free because it will cause most baked goods to turn green and have a tinny flavor.

I used an 8 by 4 (1.5 quart) loaf pan. If you use a 9 by 5, you won't get the height I have in my photos.

Keto Coconut Bread

UPDATE: I've heard a lot of people say in comments it's too much cinnamon so I reduced it by half when I made it again for our family and it was lighter in color than in my pics. I also reduced the sweetener by half and it tasted just fine, just a hint of sweetness.

Low

I also made my slices thinner and adjusted the amount of slices you can get in this loaf, I'm updating the nutrition info for 14 slices as opposed to what it was originally as just 12 slices. I'm sticking by my decision to use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon as I just love it with the look of wheat bread.
