Gluten Free Coconut Flour Flax Bread

I love the recipe.  It’s very nutritious.  Mine turned out a bit “eggy” and it didn’t really rise.  Any suggestions.  I followed recipe exactly.  I’m going to add this recipe to my website.

I am really wanting to try this bread, but I do not have a loaf pan yet.  I am wondering which size is the best for the amount in this recipe?

I don’t know how safe flax boiled a few minutes and allowed to rest till it’s the consistency of eggs would be; in high amounts flax can be toxic.  But I’d start my research there if your son cannot eat eggs.

Have you considered the GAPS diet?  If you google that you’ll flind good info there.

HTH

Does anyone have the nutritional information on this recipe? It looks yummy but I need to know how it’ll fit into my diet and plan for the calories. Also, are the flax seeds necissary? Or can they be left out? Thanks!

I am waiting for this to cool right now, it smells great. Thanks

how much flax meal does 1/2 a cup of ground flax seed make? i only have flax meal on hand…

Delicious ingredients, simple and nutritious. Awaiting TT ship of flour for adventure. Plan to use Bob’s Red Mill Hemp Protein Powder. May add walnuts

The vinegar is to help the baking soda leaven the bread.  You can substitute lemon juice or some other type of acid.

This is wonderful! The best “Paleo diet” bread that I have ever made! The bread is very dense, but tastes really great as toast with jam or as plain bread with butter.

I cannot have eggs. Has anyone tried this recipe by substituting the eggs with flax gel or applesauce and baking powder? If so, what amount was used?  I cannot use egg replacer because it contains potato starch.

Can this bread be made in a bread maker? If not, do you have any recipes for gluten-free bread that can?

Great recipe!  Just made this the first time today using the exact recipe and it is very tasty!

This is a wonderful bread. So delicious.
Mine came out a little small as the smallest loaf pan I had was still too big.
I will double the recipe next time – which will probably be this weekend :)

The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of whole flax seeds ground to a meal. So you measure before you grind it. :)

I love the recipe except that my first loaf was doubled because I recognized that the recipe would not have much volume and I also used butter instead Coconut Oil and half&half instead of water.  I wound up with a relatively dense loaf that was very tasty.  It was great plain, buttered, with preserves, toasted…,etc.  My second loaf was also a doubled recipe with some “alterations” to provide a lighter texture.  I again used half&half plus I increased both the vinegar and the soda to 2 1/2 teaspoons each and 1 teaspoon of Aluminum Free Baking Powder.  I used a Balloon Wisk when mixing the Eggs and added 1 Teaspoon of Mexican Vanilla Extract and 1 cup of chopped Walnuts.  :-)  I think that this recipe is going to prove extremely adaptable for my needs. :-)

Hi,        I have a question,     I bought pre-ground flax seed meal so how long will it take to go rancid????   I have  had it about a month already.   i am afraid to use it now.   
Thanks

Easy to make!  Love it.  I’ve made an Italian cheese bread to have as a snack.  I absolutely love how versatile this bread is!  Thank you so much, I can eat yummy bread again!

Hi Toni – If you use a larger loaf pan, the bread won’t look like it rises as much.  Also, this is a very thick batter.  If it gets too thick, you can try adding an additional egg or reduce the coconut flour by one tablespoon.

Ethel – It’s not that wheat doesn’t work with coconut flour, rather, this recipe was created specifically to be wheat free.  Flax has different properties than wheat so subbing one for the other will not work.  If you want to use coconut flour in a traditional recipe, you can sub up to 25% of the regular wheat flour with coconut flour.

I thought I heard on Dr. Oz’s show that chia seeds don’t have to be ground like flax does.

My bread did not rise like the picture, but it tasted ok.  I ground cold milled flax seed.  The did not pour, but was like sludge.  Help.

Marijane – chia seeds are a great sub.  I’ve tried them in this recipe before too but the only thing that keeps me from using them all the time is that the ground chia seeds are harder to clean out of my coffee grinder :)

I substituted chia seeds, after grinding them in my blender, for the flaxseeds in order to have more Omega 3 and not lose nutrients in the baking process.  This bread is wonderful!

Carolyn – Yes, it’s a quick bread.  You can certainly add a sweetener if you wish.  I usually leave it out since I’m cutting down on sugar and I use it as a sandwich bread or for toasting.

Is is okay to bake the flax seeds?  I’ve always read that flax seeds and flax seed oils should not be heated as they go rancid very quickly when heated and cause free radical formation.

Is this like a quick bread? Should there be a sweetner of some kind, like honey or molasses? Looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks!
