Tips
We love this bread with soups and sandwiches.
This bread is neutral in flavor but if you want to you can add your favorite spices or why not try 1-2 tablespoons of our holiday bread seasoning?
You can store this bread in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure you slice the bread prior to freezing it and place parchment paper between each slice. That way you will always have easy access to the number of slices you need. We recommend using a toaster or toaster oven for reheating.
Troubleshooting
Did your bread turn green when baking it? It has been known to happen with this recipe. Don't worry, it's perfectly safe to eat.
The green color is the result of a chemical reaction between the leavening agent, in this case baking soda 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 by one third and/or add a couple of teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to the wet ingredients before adding them to the dry ones.

It's a keeper! Thanks
75g coconut flour
2-3 large egg yolks
7-8 large egg whites ,beaten to stiff peaks
10 ml/2 t baking powder
2ml XAN xantham gum
Butter: 80g
200 or so ml water (all coconut floors absorb water differently,you're looking for a just-pourable but very thick batter)
Salt to taste
Mix dry ingredients. Add egg took,water and butter. Fold in eggs whites (although the batter is quite thick so you might end up just mixing them in). bake for 35 -40 mins.
P.s. you can use the extra egg yolks for mayo or homemade ice cream.
1 TBSP coconut flour (1.5 carbs)
2 TBSP ground flaxseed (@3 carbs)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 grinds of salt
-------
2 tsp. diced cold butter (I've used coconut oil if adding cocoa for a "chocolate cake" or olive
oil for ease with this recipe.
1 egg
-------
I mix it together with a fork in a Pyrex ramekin--no greasing required and microwave for 1 minute.
As I indicated above, I've altered this by adding 1 TBSP of cocoa and 1.5 TBSP of sweetener
for a dense chocolate cake that is not too sweet. I then sometimes pour almond milk over it for another variation. You could add herbs or cheese or anything. It is very forgiving. Let me know if you try it and if you like it. I find it is very filling. I count it as 4.5 carbs. Enjoy!
I just followed recipe above. But don't measure them precisley. I used shaker bottle to measure .
I add little bit of milk and saccharin.
Im not sure but I think it is well made.
Here's are pics of mine.

1Tbsp melted coconut oil and or butter
4 Tbsp total any conbo of flax meal, almond flour or coconut flour. (I usually use 1 flax, 2 coconut flour and 1 almond flour)
1 egg
1 Tbsp mayo
1 Tsp almond milk (or other liquid)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
Onion powder ( because I like it-totally optional)
Mix all in microwave safe bowl (I use a round one about the size of a bun and cut in half when cooled to make a bun, or use a bread shaped plastic take along sandwich holder and do the same thing )
Microwave about 2 minutes and turn out onto wire rack to cool.
This is something I now just eyeball and whip up when the rest of the fam is having bread or buns. Might not be everyones cup of tea, but it works for me.
