I found this recipe on a low carb site and couldn't wait to try it. Coconut flour is usually used mixed with other flours, so I was really curious what the consistency would be like. It was kindof odd. The first impression in your mouth is moist, but it is very dense at the same time, and gave the impression of being dry. I loved the flavor though! It is lightly sweet, and could almost be classified as a cake. I would love to try adding some flavor extracts. It reminded me of sweet cornbread in a way. The batter was VERY thick, and didn't fill up much of the pan as you can see below.
COCONUT BREAD
3/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup Earth Balance
2 tablespoons sugar or xylitol (would also like to try honey and agave!)
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 350ยบ for 40 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack.
