Moist Coconut and Almond Bread Recipe with a Rich, Nutty Flavor

I still remember the first time I tried baking with coconut flour. I thought, “How hard could it be?” So, I threw all the ingredients together, popped the batter into the oven, and waited. What came out was a sad, dry brick that crumbled the moment I touched it. Lesson learned: coconut flour is a thirsty ingredient, and it needs moisture—lots of it.

Fast forward a few failed experiments later, and I finally cracked the code to the perfect coconut and almond bread. This loaf is soft, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. The combination of almond flour and coconut flour gives it a light but satisfying texture, while butter and eggs keep it moist and tender. No complicated steps or hard-to-find ingredients. If you love a slightly nutty, subtly sweet, and naturally gluten-free treat, you’re going to love this. Now, let's get into it!

How to Make Coconut and Almond Bread

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 50-60 minutes

Servings: 8-10 slices

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

• • • ⅔ cup coconut flour
    • ¾ cup almond flour
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• • • 8 eggs
    • 3 tablespoons sugar
    • ½ teaspoon vinegar
    • ½ cup melted butter

Toppings

• • • 4 tablespoons chopped almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Sift the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution and a smooth texture.

3. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until they become frothy. This helps incorporate air into the batter, making the bread fluffier.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients by gradually adding the dry mixture to the eggs. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

5. Add the melted butter, sugar, and vinegar to the batter. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

6. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top for a crunchy finish.

7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This prevents crumbling and enhances the texture.

Coconut and Almond Bread Tips and Twists

• Use room-temperature eggs to ensure a smooth batter and even mixing.
• Don't overmix to keep the bread light and fluffy.
• Add shredded coconut for extra texture and natural sweetness.
• Try a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
• For a sweeter bread, increase the sugar or use honey as a substitute.
• Serve with butter, jam, or nut butter for an extra delicious treat.

Health Benefits of Coconut and Almond Bread

1. Rich in Healthy Fats

Almond flour is packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, which help maintain good cholesterol levels and support overall cardiovascular health. 

2. Naturally Gluten-Free

Unlike traditional wheat-based bread, this recipe uses coconut and almond flour, both naturally free from gluten. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with celiac disease, gluten sensitivities, or anyone looking to reduce gluten in their diet without sacrificing taste or texture.

3. High in Fiber

Coconut flour is an outstanding source of dietary fiber, which plays a key role in digestive health. Fiber helps regulate digestion, prevent constipation, and promote a healthy gut microbiome.

Compared to regular bread, which is high in refined carbohydrates, this recipe is naturally lower in carbs, making it ideal for those following a keto or low-carb lifestyle.

Both almond flour and eggs are excellent sources of protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance, immune support, and overall bodily functions. Including more protein in your diet can help keep you full, reduce cravings, and support healthy weight management.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Recipe

Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?

Yes, you can replace almond flour with other nut-based flour like cashew or hazelnut flour. However, using regular flour or oat flour will change the texture since almond flour is higher in fat and moisture. If you decide to use an alternative, consider adjusting the liquid ingredients to maintain the right consistency.

Can I make this bread dairy-free?

Yes, you can replace the melted butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter substitute. This keeps the bread dairy-free while maintaining moisture and flavor.

Why is my bread too dry?

Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture, so if your bread is dry, you may need to add an extra egg or slightly more butter. Also, make sure not to overbake it, as this can cause it to lose too much moisture.

Can I add chocolate chips or fruit?

Absolutely! Adding dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or dried fruit like cranberries can enhance the flavor and texture of the bread. Just be mindful of the extra moisture they might introduce.

Is this bread keto-friendly?

Yes, this bread is naturally low in carbs due to the almond and coconut flours. However, if you’re strictly keto, you may want to replace the sugar with a low-carb sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.

What can I serve with coconut and almond bread?

This bread pairs well with butter, almond butter, cream cheese, or fruit preserves. For a savory twist, try serving it with avocado or a drizzle of olive oil.
