Together, coconut and almond flour produce a delicious low carb and gluten free bread. I've added flaxseed in for good measure and to make it more like a wholemeal loaf.
This is the best low carb and gluten free bread so far! I found this recipe and tweaked it a bit with flaxseed but oh my...the best alternative to bread so far! We enjoy it toasted and as it is so dense in nuts and fibre you only need a couple of slices toasted to keep you going for hours. This is like a nice wholemeal bread and just so tasty!
I love this gluten free bread as it has two of my favourites, almond flour and coconut flour...add my other favourite, flaxseed and you have a high fibre, low carb, gluten free piece of bread! The best thing about alternative bread recipes to the gluten laden ones sold in supermarkets, is that this is a simple bread to make. No kneading, no waiting to rise..just mix, bake and eat! Keep this in the fridge though..it will keep about 3-4 days.

Brilliant result tastes lovely but a bit worried about the calories per slice , is it actually 297 per slice .

I want to try out your recipe tonight but my oven is on the fritz 🙁
Do you think this can be made in a bread machine?
Angela Coleby
It's worth a try as I believe a lot of low carb breads can happily be made in a bread machine.
Carol
Hi, can I use honey instead of sugar substitute?
Angela Coleby
Of course.
Ewa Sterczewski
im making it now, and i can't use eggs and flax. i used gelatin 24 tbls spoon , as of 3 tbls equals 1 egg. instead of baking soda i added more apple cider vineager and first time when i made it , i used yolks only and i had to throw it away , nothing came out ok. let me see how it will come out now.

Thanks so much for this recipe!!! I have gone gluten, dairy & wheat free and was missing my bread soooo much!!!
I just use the xovonut oil instead of the butter... and bingo!
Super yummy!
Simone UDG
Bad typing... I meant coconut oil!
Angela Coleby
I do it all the time! Good substitute too!
Christen
Made this tonight and found that my batter was thick, and my bread tasted "very eggy", is that normal? It is great consistency and would be great with a little adjustments.
Angela Coleby
Hi, it can be slightly eggy but perhaps use it to make French toast? A less eggy tasting bread would be my Keto & Paleo breads as they have psyllium husk powder in them. Happy baking!
Sonia
I made this recipe and it was delicious! So filling too! Thank you 🙂
Angela Coleby
Yah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Liz
Should I use dark or golden flaxseed? Can I use coconut oil or any other oil instead of butter? Is sugar substitute necessary?
Thank you.
Angela Coleby
The flaxseed is up to you. I prefer golden. You could use coconut oil and try it without the sweetener
Priscilla Drugge
I am confused by the directions - when do you add the melted butter mixture to the batter? after or before the water? It doesn't say.
Angela Coleby
With the water. You can add it first, then add the water if you want.

Can you give us the dimension of a 1 lb tin?

Hi, 15cm (6") long, 9cm (3.5") wide and 7cm (2.8" high)

This bread is sooooo goooood! 297 calories for one slice though? Is that correct?
Angela Coleby
That's what my online calculator says...
Divalicious
This is as per the database I use
Jocelyn
Is the apple cider vinegar necessary or can another vinegar be substituted? I used white vinegar and doubled the recipe, but my loaves are not as moist.
Divalicious
I'm not too sure to be honest but I cannot see why white vinegar would not work as the vinegar in baking is used to combine with the baking soda and start the chemical reaction needed to produce carbon dioxide and give those batters a lift as they bake.
romaida
Is the nutrition info correct? That's a lot of carbs for being low carb.
shadesofjoan
I know it's awfully late to post to romaida, but if she's out there... Concerning the 'carb count' the nutrition facts are for the ENTIRE loaf, not just one slice. One slice has roughly 6 net carbs (carbs minus fiber) so eat up!
Susan
Just made this today and it's delicious. When should the butter, honey, and vinegar be added? I went ahead and put it in with the eggs and whisked before adding to the dry ingredients. Since the bread turned out well, I guess that was OK. Thanks for this nutritious bread recipe!
Divalicious
Hi Susan, adding to the eggs is just right! So glad you enjoy the bread and thanks for popping by!
Dolores
Thanks!
Dolores
Do you have the nutrietion value for this bread? My daughter is making it today, but would like to know what I am getting regarding calories and carbs. Thanks
Divalicious
Hi, I've added the nutritional table at the end of the recipe. Enjoy!

Hey there! Recently found out that I am wheat intolerant, and so, trying out some new recipes, because bread is my favourite food!!! Are there any alternatives to using coconut flour? Could I use almond flour instead? And also, would it be wise to mix all the ingredients in a food processor? Or is that too much? I know it doesn't need kneading, but I thought I would ask, because it might save me time, and mess! Gonna give these a go today! Following the recipe exactly. Wish me luck!
Divalicious
Hi there! Thanks for popping by and I hope the recipe turned out okay. You must try my favourite bread roll recipe too...it's very much like the real thing and high in fibre too! Almond flour can often be substituted for coconut flour but you would need about 1/2 cup more, since coconut flour is used in smaller quantities, and also adjust any liquid. When cooking with coconut flour you use more liquid as it soaks it up like a sponge! You can use a food processor but don't over work the mixture. Good luck and happy eating!
Libby
Is baking soda bicarb?
Divalicious
Yes it is Libby.
rookendrick
Definitely give this a go, sounds good
