It’s really hard to give up bread and sandwiches with starting keto. That’s why you’ll want to try various low carb bread recipes to find one that works for you. For a tried and true recipe, I recommend the popular Soul Bread that was developed by a group of low carbers.

However, if you’re like me, you may be looking for a keto bread that’s also dairy-free. Unfortunately, Soul Bread relies on cream cheese, butter, and whey protein. Psyllium bread recipes typically contain no dairy, but finding psyllium can sometimes be a challenge.

Whether you are looking for a gluten-free recipe or want a low carb option, coconut flour bread is a perfect choice. This bread tastes great, has no added preservatives and additives and is easy to make. Plus, it uses ingredients that are typically easy to find.

No matter the reason you are giving up traditional bread, it isn’t until you can’t have it that you discover how many things you want bread for. Bread is the base for simple meal ideas, for a side dish, as toppings like bread crumbs and the base for some of our favorite dinner traditions, like turkey and stuffing.

With my coconut flour loaf, you can enjoy all of these things again without the worry. And it’s a great alternative to almond flour bread for those with nut allergy!

Coconut Flour Keto Bread Ingredients

ingredients for coconut flour bread

Ready to make your own low carb sandwich bread? You’ll need the following ingredients for the recipe:

  • 6 Eggs (coconut flour requires a lot of eggs)
  • Coconut Oil
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk (or other low carb milk)
  • Coconut Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Xanthan Gum (provides some “stretch” without gluten)
  • Salt

The recipe does call for six eggs, but the bread doesn’t have a strong eggy taste. When baking with coconut flour, you need to use plenty of eggs and liquid. That’s because the flour is very absorbent and without the extra eggs and liquid, baked goods would be very dry.

How to Make Bread with Coconut Flour

adding dry ingredients to bowl

The wet ingredients (eggs, coconut oil, and almond milk) are blended together first in a large bowl. Then the dry ingredients (coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt) are stirred in. As the coconut flour absorbs the liquid, the mixture should begin to thicken.

mixing keto bread batter in bowl

When the mixture is thickened, it’s spread into a 9x5-inch loaf pan. It’s best to grease the pan well or line it with parchment paper. The last thing you want is to have the coconut flour sandwich bread stick to the pan!

It takes about 35-45 minutes at 350°F for the bread to bake. You know it’s done when the top is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

I like to place the hot loaf pan on a cooling rack for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing the bread. And I find that running a knife along the edge between the bread and pan helps it come out better. If using a parchment paper liner, the bread will just lift right out with the paper.

What is Coconut Flour

The base of this keto bread recipe is coconut flour. It replaces the wheat flour that’s found in traditional bread.

Coconut flour is made from dried coconut meat. When coconut milk is pressed from the coconut meat, it leaves the coconut meat as a solid piece. This coconut meat is then dried slowly at a low temperature.

Once dried, the coconut is ground into a powder that creates the flour. However, if you were to grind up regular unsweetened shredded coconut, it wouldn’t be the same. That’s because the coconut meat is also defatted when used to make flour.

Coconut flour can be used in many ways. Since it is gluten free, low carb, high in fiber and low in calories, it makes a great alternative to wheat bread for those on a keto diet.

How Long Will the Bread Stay Fresh

While coconut flour bread is a great choice for bread, it doesn't have the additives and preservatives that come with traditional store-bought bread. It will not last as long as store bought bread. It will stay fresh for a few days, up to a week when stored in an airtight container. Store at room temperature.

Low carb coconut flour bread is a great choice for healthier sandwiches. However, it doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that come with traditional store-bought bread. Therefore, it won’t last as long as store bought bread.

It will stay fresh for a few days at room temperature. And it should last at least a week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The bread can also be sliced and frozen in single servings so you can enjoy it as you need it.

Variations to Keto Coconut Flour Bread

This is a fantastic every day bread for making sandwiches and low carb French toast. But you may want to change things up and experiment with various add-ins. This coconut flour bread recipe can be used as a base for other bread.

Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

  • Add in some seeds and nuts for a heartier loaf.
  • Try a little cinnamon and a touch of sweetener to enjoy as a keto snack.
  • If you like sweet bread, you can add in low carb sweetener to taste and extracts like vanilla or banana.

I personally think this recipe is a great base for a low carb banana bread. So I experimented with it to make a banana bread made with coconut flour. That recipe uses a flavor extract to avoid adding sugar with a real banana.

Other Great Recipes for Low Carb Bread

Here’s a few of my other bread recipes that are also perfect for making sandwiches:

  • Keto Cloud Bread
  • Pyllium Bread Rolls
  • Pork Rind Bread
  • Almond Flour Keto Wraps
  • Keto Yeast Bread

There’s also a wonderful egg-free bread over at Sweet As Honey.

Kitchen Tools Used

To make this easy low carb bread, you’ll want to have the following items available:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Loaf Pan

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum See Note
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl mix together eggs, coconut oil, and milk.
  • Add in coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
  • Stir until mixture thickens as the coconut flour absorbs the wet ingredients.
  • In a greased bread pan (I used a 9x5-inch glass loaf pan), spread mixture evenly. For a taller loaf, use a smaller loaf pan like an 8x4-inch.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes. The top of the bread will be golden brown and a toothpick will come out clean when inserted.
  • Allow to cool and enjoy!

Notes

If you can't find xanthan gum or prefer not to use it, you can use about one tablespoon of any of the following instead:
  • ground flax seeds
  • chia seeds
  • psyllium husks
Variations to try:
  • Add in nuts and seeds
  • Sprinkle in about a teaspoon of cinnamon and two tablespoons sweetener
  • Make a sweet bread with ¼ to ½ cup sweetener and a flavor extract

    Thank you very much for posting this recipe. Coconut flour is the only one I use because it's low oxalate and myself and my young child have high oxalate toxicity. I will use low carb dairy milk or half and half because almond milk has lots of oxalate acid in that. I read when baking with glass or ceramic it's a good idea to reduce the oven temp by 25 degrees. I wonder if you did that or not. Your photo looks very nice. I'm looking forward to trying it.

    I’ve made this recipe many times over the last few years since starting a Keto lifestyle. It’s my go to recipe for low carb bread. It’s simple, tasty and very versatile. I’ve used it for sandwiches, avocado toast, and my favorite, French Toast.
    Thanks for your hard work, and for sharing your recipes with us!

    I have failed with all bread recipes, especially the ones with psyllium husks or flax. This one intrigued me. It actually came out perfectly, but the taste was bitter. I didn't have any coconut oil, and I substituted avocado oil (I looked it up and it said it was a good substitute.) Could that be it? The texture is very light and fluffy and not eggy at all. (I don't like eggs at all, and I would have noticed.) I plan on trying the Solo Bread next.

    I made this today to use for toast in the morning. I haven't tasted it yet but I'm very disappointed in the height of the bread. I used the size pan I was directed to use and I wish I would have used a smaller one.The bread is not more than an inch and a half high, nothing like the photo. I'm hoping for a good flavor. I'll cut the piece wider and then in half before toasting. My first Pinterest fail.

    I'm not on strict keto, just want to have the family eat as healthy as possible. I like baking (I'm a novice) with whole wheat flour, which is high in carbs. So, decided to try this coconut flour recipe this morning. It turned out great! There's a slight coconut flavor, which is okay w/ all of us here. The texture is soft and moist, and mimics white bread pretty closely! I tried toasting it, but since I was in a hurry, I set the toaster on low, so the bread didn't crisp up. I will try toasting on a higher setting, and I'll bet it works out better. In any event, we enjoyed this bread, and I will be making it again! Thanks, Lisa!

    I haven’t made this yet, but am hoping to try, as long as I can feel confident. I’ve only ever made a few things with coconut flour so far and all failed… I had to bake each different recipe I tried at least twice as long as it called for, just to simply get it to not be runny and liquid-y. I don’t want to try this and have it be the same thing and I’ve just wasted more expensive ingredients. Anyone have any tips I can do in hopes this recipe will turn out?

      The issue with coconut flour recipes is that different brands can vary widely as far as absorbency goes. So if it doesn't work out, you may need to try another brand of flour. Healthworks is the brand I've been using.

    Would using regular milk instead of almond milk change anything or require any changes?
    I don't necessarily need the recipe to be dairy free, and was curious.
    Anyone try regular milk? How did it turn out?

    Mine definitely did not turn out like the video/picture. I felt like I was eating more of quiche than bread? I enjoyed the taste, but it definitely didn't rise like a bread. I'm not a very good cook so I'm not sure what I did wrong?

      I've never had it come out that eggy. Did you weigh the coconut flour? I've found coconut flour can vary widely which is usually the reason for mixed results.

    Get's my vote for Best Low Carb Bread EVER.
    I've made a LOT of LC, Coconut Flour, Almond Flour, etc, bread- this is the most bread-like texture & flavor. I did not notice an eggy taste. I agree with someone else's recommendation though to make a double recipe if you want a taller loaf- mine did not rise much at all.
    Because I'm accustomed to having my coconut flour breads be quite heavy, I separated 3 of the eggs & beat the whites to peaks before folding into the other ingredients. Not sure it was necessary though, just a precaution.
    I also added a bit of SALT & 1 tsp of ONION POWDER.
    I think you could do a lot of different things with this recipe- sweet or savory. It's going to be a standby for me now.

      Could there be a mistake in the recipe? I made it with 1/2 cup of coconut flour and the consistency was too runny so I added another 1/2 cup of flour so the consistency looked like the video. With 1 cup of flour it turned out very moist.

        Coconut flour can vary by absorbency so I recommend starting with half the amount and adding more as needed to get the right consistency.

    It was so easy to make. I substituted chia for xanthum gum as I did not have any. I did not have to presoak them though, but I did add them to the liquid so it could mix with the wet first. I also had to add just little more coconut flour as I am at a high altitude. When wanting a treat I added Coconut palm sugar and a little Cocoa powder. I oiled and flowered my pan with avocado oil and some coconut flour. It's very good!

    This is not bread. This is a quick bread, which is just cake in the shape of a loaf. And this is unsweetened cake taboot. Not sure how it is getting 5 stars unless folks have been on this low carb lifestyle for so long they don't remember what real bread is.

      The green color is usually the result of a chemical reaction between the baking powder and chlorophyl or chlorogenic acid. This reaction is most common in recipes using sunflower seeds or meal but has been known to happen with other flours as well.

      To prevent this from happening you can reduce the amount of baking powder to 1 teaspoon and/or add a couple of teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to the wet ingredients before adding them to the dry ones.

    My bread came out a little cakier than I wanted.

    I felt it was a little wet when it set so i added another tablespoon of flour and used butter instead of oil but didn't melt it so maybe that stopped flour mixing.

    Very tasty though and a great bread substitute of I can fit it a little more dense. Added teaspoon of cinnamon and soaked raisins.

    Lisa, I’m waiting for my first batch of bread to bake and already thinking about the next batch with low carb sweetener, lemon extract and blueberries. Has anyone tried this? Rick

      I've adapted other low carb bread recipes by adding in sweetener and other add ins so it should work in this recipe.

    Looking into making this bread recipe. I have solid coconut oil, do I melt it to make 1/3 cup?
    Thanks

      Melting the oil makes it easier to measure and blend in. So I recommend doing that if it's solid.

    Thank You!!! I just found this recipe and had to make this bread immediately. Because of ingredients on hand I substituted Avacado oil for coconut oil, 2T psyllium husk powder for the xanthan gum and coconut milk for almond milk(allergic to almond). The hardest part was waiting for it to cool. Delicious! Thanks again!!!

    I made this bread and was not disappointed. It’s fantastic! I’ve made other low carb breads and have not found one that I liked, until now. Thank you! I will try the sweet version soon.

      It's hard to say, but the most common issue is baking powder that isn't fresh.

    I TRY THIS BREAD FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. I WAS CONCERN THAT THE RECIPE CALLS FOR 6 EGGS. THE BREAD CAME OUT LOOKING GREAT BUT TASTE LIKE IS WAS EATING AN EGG OMELET (OK IF YOU LIKE EGG OMELET)..LOOKING FOR A RECIPE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE SO MANY EGGS.

      Try a psyllium bread recipe or one made with almond flour or almond butter. Coconut flour requires a lot of eggs. But you should be okay using only 5 eggs in this one.

    I have not tried this recipe yet, and want to. But . . . while I can definitely appreciate coconut and almond flour breads, I am so tired of 3” tall loafs that I can’t make a decent sandwich with, or that are too fragile to slice for a sandwich. I have noted your above mention on using fresh baking powder and will discard my old can of it. I have a standard size loaf pan. What do I need to do to get sliceable, good-size, sturdy loaves?

      I like to use a smaller loaf pan (8x4-inch) so that the loaf is taller. But baking time will need to be adjusted.

    Excellent texture and flavor and it started rising before I could get it out of the bowl. I didn't want to eat scrambled eggs and pretend it was bread so I was searching for a recipe that would have a more bread-like taste and texture. This is it. I did substitute melted butter for the coconut oil because I was afraid it would have an overpowering coconut flavor. Although the dough had a coconut flavor, the baked bread didn't. It did have a nice buttery flavor. I divided the dough into 3 pieces and made buns, danish rolls and bagels, just to see what this dough could do. To the danish roll dough I added a 1/2 Tabl Torani Sugar-Free French Vanilla Syrup and a dash of cinnamon. That didn't rise as well due to the change in the liquid-dry ratio. When I make a full batch I will put 2 Tabl of the syrup into my measuring cup first, then add almond milk to make 1/3 cup. Added garlic powder to the "bagel" dough and topped my circles of dough with a Noatmeal dry mix (chia seeds, flax meal & hemp seeds). Bagels didn't turn out chewy enough but flavor was great. Can't wait to make an actual loaf with this. It was just what I was looking for.

    Hi made this today and turned out yummy but super flat, did not rise and cannot use for sandwiches like the picture you posted. Perhaps the recipes that call for whipped egg whites are better for raised bread. Was good for butter and toast though

      June 23, 2019 at 4:49 pm

      You can certainly separate the eggs, whip the whites, and fold those in for more air in the batter. However, it could also be that the baking powder was old.

        I made this exactly as directed and my dough was rising before I could get it out of the bowl. Turned out light and fluffy. I agree to check the date on the baking powder.

      • Lisa MarcAurele

        November 12, 2019 at 11:09 am

        Baking powder is typically doubling acting. So there should be a rise after being mixed with liquid as well as a rise during baking. If there is no rise in the bowl, it may not be the freshest like you said.

      You can use a smaller loaf pan to get a taller loaf. An 8x40-inch pan works well for that, but baking time will be a little longer

    Thank you so much for sharing your recipes.
    My son & I cannot have eggs, in addition to dairy, nuts & flaxseeds. Do you think we could bake a decent loaf by using psyllium husk powder as an egg-replacement and add coconut milk for additional moisture?

    I made this bread last night. It was super easy to put together and it baked beautifully golden. I was surprised that the middle rose significantly (most gluten free breads are pretty flat). Hubby and I both enjoyed it. It didn't have an eggy taste. This morning I used a few slices and made French toast with it, and we both enjoyed that too. Definitely adding this recipe to my recipe book. Thank you soo much for sharing!
