    Hi do you know what the calorie count is per serving?

    I’m confused….every recipe I try with Coconut flour, I sift, use the exact proportions as instructed in these recipes and the batter never turns into a consistency you can “pour”…its always a thick consistency. What am I doing wrong???

  3. Ami

    I add almond milk, till the consistency is the way you like.

    How do you measure the coconut oil? Solid or melted?

    • Neely

      @gwenhoney – You can measure the coconut either way – solid or melted. If it’s solid then place it in a measuring cup and smoosh it down to get an accurate measurement.

    Thanks, Neely!

    Just made this bread and while it tastes oh so very yummy, it’s suuuuper duper dry.

    I made this with solid coconut oil, and had to use a hand mixer to get all the lumps incorporated. A whisk just simply does not work for this! I may try again with melted oil. Also, I used a dark non-stick loaf pan and it got pretty brown around the outside. If you use a similar pan, you may want to knock a couple minutes off the cook time or keep an eye on it. As a side note, the bread does not rise much at all – it makes a cute, dense, flat, little slightly crumbly thing.

    cartertx:
    I had to fish out the solid coconut oil and melt it because even using a hand mixer there were many lumps. I strained it with water as to not cook the eggs residue on it. Worked out much much better. I concur with the less time it takes as well. For me it was a whole 8-10 minutes less. I baked it in a nonstick 9X5X3 loaf pan as directed and due to how thin it was spread across the entire pan, it cooked much quicker.
    I wonder if there is a trick to having the bread turn out less dense. Maybe folding the egg and dry ingredients or whisking it after the oil is melted so as to try and capture some air in the batter. Maybe another ingredient? It’s almost like bread in a can dense. Any suggestions ???

    I was so thrilled to find a recipe for paleo bread. However, once I started making the bread I had flashbacks to my complete disaster of pancakes I made not that long ago. They were extremely dense and flaky just like everyone else has been commenting. I saw Ami’s comment about adding almond milk. Great idea! Although, I only had coconut milk available. I just added it till the consistency of actually being able to pour it into a bread pan. Needless to say I have delicious bread I can finally eat!

    Coconut milk is the answer to keeping it moist.

    Any specific measurement of the coconut milk to add to the batter? It has really good flavor, but mine turned out pretty pasty and almost like cookie dough in its thickness. Thanks!

    I made it with liquid coconut oil and baked it for 8 minutes less. It came out great. I should have taken it out 10 minutes earlier. Oh, and I used one more egg white….6 eggs, one egg white.

    This is really good….similar in texture and taste to sweet corn bread. I added 1/2 cup of coconut milk (canned) and they are still a little dry. Next time I’ll try the almond milk or more coco milk. I baked mine in muffin tins and mini muffin tins and it only took 10 min for the mini muffins and 15 for the regular. They still stuck to the bottom of the pan…I’ll just grease more heavily next time. Plan on trying lemon zest and fresh strawberries in these too.

  13. Holly

    So..if you want a breakfast type muffin…add about 2 T lemon zest and 1 cup of frozen strawberries, thawed, and press the excess juice out. Add strawberries and lemon zest to wet ingredients. Bake in muffin tins.

  14. Vicky

    I make it with unswetened almond milk and was just perfect.

  15. Sabrina

    I also had the same problem VERY dry. How much coconut milk do you add and how long should you cook?
