keto coconut bread

Keto coconut bread is the best substitute for regular wheat bread since its nut free, gluten free, 20 times lower in carbs and tastes delicious. It’s easily my favourite coconut bread recipe.

The bread is fluffy, sliceable and totally delicious. Be sure to keep some for yourself,  since everyone will want a slice of this delicious bread.

If you’re not allergic to nuts, then you can also make my regular keto bread.

My almond flour keto bread is the most popular keto bread in on the internet, so I adapted that recipe to make a ketogenic bread that is nut free for all those people who are allergic to nuts, gluten, and possibly, even dairy.

This post is very detailed, so feel free to skip to the section that suits you best using the table of contents below:

I love simple recipes, and I’m sure you do too. I simplified this recipe by removing the extra coconut oil.

The coconut oil is not necessary for this recipe, because the butter and eggs combine with the coconut flour better without it.

The bread toasts better as well.

Tips for Dairy Free Coconut Bread

To make this keto coconut bread dairy free, all you have to do is substitute the butter with olive oil.

I’ve tried this and it works very well, although admittedly doesn’t taste quite as good as using butter.

Coconut oil would also work, but I prefer using olive oil as it has a better taste (especially because you are already using coconut flour in the mix).

Using Coconut Flour Versus Almond Flour

When replacing coconut flour with almond flour, you must adjust the amount since it is more absorbent than almond flour.

When using coconut flour instead of almond flour, there is a perfect ratio to use.

Replace almond flour with a quarter of the amount of coconut flour for perfect results:

Some Simple Examples

4 Cups Almond Flour = 1 Cup Coconut Flour

2 Cups Almond Flour = 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour

1 Cups Almond Flour = 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour

Ratio 4: 1

(This means that for every 1 cup of almond flour, use 1/4 cup coconut flour)

This ratio works with every recipe. Coconut flour needs more moisture because the flour is very absorbent. 

This is why I’ve kept the number of eggs the same as my regular keto bread.

The moisture from the eggs will absorb into the coconut flour leaving a very nice texture without the eggy taste.

Coconut flour usually needs to rest to absorb moisture. Luckily with this bread, resting doesn’t need to be considered since it is baked in the oven.

If you have any coconut flour questions, don’t hesitate to comment below!

Aluminium-Free Baking Powder

*Please note* This recipe has been updated since first posting, and many people were confused about whether to use baking soda or baking powder. Please read below:

Please make sure that when you’re baking this recipe, that you use aluminium-free baking powder.

The reason is that if you accidentally use too much regular baking powder, it can turn a green colour in the bottom section of the bread.

Don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s your baking powder.

Baking powder with aluminium reacts to acidic ingredients like coconut, causing this greenish colour and what many people find to be a “tinny” or metallic taste.

Fortunately, this doesn’t make the bread harmful to eat, it just might look a little strange. It’s perfectly fine to eat.

Where To Buy Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan gum acts as the “glue” to bind the coconut bread recipe together. Without it, it may not rise as well as shown here in the photo.

Xanthan gum can usually be found in your local supermarket either in the baking aisle or in the gluten-free section.

Here are some (affiliate) links if you like shopping from home:

  • Australia
  • Amazon

You can read more about xanthan gum here

Is Coconut a “Nut”?

While coconuts are technically not a nut, it is considered a “Drupe” and many people avoid it just to be cautious. However, some people who are allergic to nuts avoid coconut as well.

As an alternative, I’ve created a separate recipe for keto bread that contains just sesame seeds, ground up into flour, and is probably better than all my keto bread recipes combined!

    I do love this bread. I’ve done it a few times. My only issue is that I find it difficult to get the measurements right as it is on cups. I use metric and I have to find the balance as direct conversion is not precise. Probably I just need more experience. I wish to have a metric conversion with the recipe… Maybe in the future.

      Next time I’d suggest using parchment paper to prevent it from sticking.

    I was wondering, for other recipes where you substitute almond flour for coconut flour, would you suggest adding more eggs or another liquid or keep the recipe as is? Thanks

    I tried the recipe, didn’t have xanthan and absolutely didn’t need it since this is very similar to olive or other salty cake recipes. The result was identical to the pictures. I used more baking powder so that may help. Also I let it seat 5 minutes before putting it in the oven.

    It tastes delicious, but nowhere like bread. It tastes like a classic French salty cake. Maybe I’ll try lowering a bit the amount of fat next time so I can eat more slices.
