Coconut Bread

[Lisa]

I'm adding coconut to my nuts/seeds rung and found this recipe for coconut bread....


Here's the link:
Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

Here's the recipe from her site:

COCONUT BREAD
3/4 cup coconut flour, 2 3/4 ounces or 80 grams
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, 4 ounces (see my comments below)
2 tablespoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda, or to taste *


Sift the first 3 ingredients into a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients well. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps. It will look a bit like cornbread batter. Spread in a greased 8x4" loaf pan and bake at 350º for 40 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
Makes 12 servings

Can be frozen


* I used the equivalent of 1/2 cup sugar in mine. I calculated the counts based on 2 tablespoons granular. You'll have to adjust yours if you use more than that.

And here's my review...

It's really a good thing.

I wish I had time to post a picture of what my loaf turned out but it's similar to the picture on Linda's site any ways.

I have NS added flavorings so I added lemon to this recipe and it taste really good.

I cut my loaf in 6 sections and then down the middle for 12 pieces (the serving size), and I think just that 1/12th is filling enough to go with breakfast in the morning.

Well, I think other than making sure it's stored in the fridge because it does have eggs as the bulk of the recipe, it's a new thing that even my family kind of likes. They're eating it with a look on their face that says, "Well, it tastes interesting....let me try another".

Looks good. I really have to try it. Did you find the coconut flour in your grocery store?

[Lisa]

It really is good, amazingly enough. The rodents in my house (aka:kids and DH) ate a good portion of it while I was out today...I hope they are VERY regular tomorrow morning!

Yeah, Liv, we have a store that sells it in bulk for cheap (I can't remember how much I paid for it by the pound), but it's nonsweetened, natural coconut Oh, and I did use my food processor to blend it up for a few minutes more to make the coconut seem finer---and then blended everything in my food processor. I love my food processor.
