I have been working on this almond and coconut bread recipe for a year now. In case you’re wondering, I did try using arrowroot in place of the psyllium and it didn’t work as a loaf. At all. First of all I had to double the amount (twice as much arrowroot as psyllium), and it still didn’t fully cook in the loaf pan. Second, the texture was completely different. The arrowroot version (the part of the loaf that cooked through) was much more crumbly. It does however make a nice mock-cornbread, baked in an 8 x 8 inch dish!
So I went back to using the psyllium for the loaf, and we all adore this bread! Part of the reason that the loaf is this nice shape and size is because I use this glass bread pan. The bottom of the pan is narrower than most bread loaf pans, so you get a slightly taller loaf. Just make sure that your ingredients are room temperature so that the bread cooks evenly, and you’re good to go.
Coconut Milk Bread
gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, Paleo
Wet Ingredients:
1 & 1/4 cups canned coconut milk, room temperature
4 whisked eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups | 240g almond flour (I have used both Bob’s Red Mill and Honeyville Almond Meal Flour in this recipe)
1/2 cup | 70g coconut flour, sifted to remove any lumps
2 tbsp psyllium husk POWDER
1 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay a piece of unbleached parchment paper across the bread loaf pan so that it goes down one of the long sides, across the bottom and back up the other long side. Note: If you use a different bread loaf pan the cooking time may change.
- Grease the two exposed glass ends of the dish. Set aside.
- Add dry ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer.
- Add whisked dry ingredients to wet mixed ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer.
- Using a flexible silicone spatula, scoop half of the batter into the prepared pan, and press it down firmly.
- Add the rest of the batter to the dish using the flexible silicone spatula, and press down firmly again. (The top should be smooth and level when you’re finished.)
- Bake for about 70 minutes.
- Let the bread rest in the pan until cool.
♥, Kelly

Hi Kelly – this looks awesome! I’ve been searching for a good GF bread recipe! Can you tell me what purpose the psyllium husk powder has in this recipe? I have all the ingredients except that. Can I sub chia, or simply leave it out? – Kelley
Lana Lauder says
From my understanding, gluten-free chef, Kathy Smart, says that psyllium adds that ‘elastic’ quality that gluten would usually lend to the bread (as heard at the Calgary gluten free expo). I believe she stated that a good rule of thumb is 1 T of psyllium for every cup of flour. So in this case, bread benefits from an elastic ‘feel’, whereas you wouldn’t want to use it in a baking recipe. Hope this helps to pass on!

Are you using canned coconut milk, or refrigerated from a carton?

ohhh thank you Kelly! I love the sound of this bread and will be making it tonight
Kelly says
Kelley, Psyllium husk is 100% fiber. It gives the bread elasticity, kind of like gluten would. I don’t know if chia meal would work, but it’s an excellent question. I know my friend Iris has used ground flax in place of psyllium with good results, so there is a strong possibility that it chia meal would work. Please let me know how it turns out!
Michelle, I always use canned coconut milk. It’s like the difference between cream and skim milk.
Anonymous, I hope you enjoy it!
Susan Doak says
What can be substituted for the psyllium husk POWDER?
Kelly says
That is a replacement for gum and/or gluten. I’m not sure how much gum would be needed as a substitute. But I think psyllium (fiber) is the better choice.
Strawberry Girl says
Kelly it looks delicious!! Thank you for posting! 🙂

Kelly, I have psyllium husk from my bulk food store – I wouldn’t consider it a powder. Do you think it would work? Or maybe I could put in in my spice grinder?
Thanks, Andrea
Em says
You probably have psyllium husk, not psyllium husk powder. If you put your husk in a spice grinder, you will have the powder.
AnjasFood4Thought says
I gotta try this. I love the ingredients list of this bread. I live in Dubai and have never seen psyllium husk powder here. Will try and replace with ground flax. Thanks for sharing.
Leanne says
Did you try the ground flax? Curious how it turned out.

Kelly,
Looks like a great recipe! I love your inventiveness. This bread looks like it isn’t too eggy and coconutty, and I have tried many a coconut/almond flour bread recipes!
I have everything to make this as well, I have psyllium left over from the last recipe I made of yours, the mini Boulder Cream doughnuts. Thanks again for sharing your creativity.
Melinda P says
Ooh, I am so excited about trying out this recipe! I just got psyllium husk powder for the first time recently, just for recipes like this. Gonna do some baking tomorrow!

Hi Kelly! Any recommendations on whether this can work without the eggs and substitute the chia seed egg or egg replacer?
Thanks!
Cassidy Stauffer says
Looks delicious! I love using psyllium husks 🙂 I’ve successfully used ground chia as a 1:1 replacement for whole psyllium husks in my recipes but not powder… would definitely need more to replace the powder.
Thanks for the recipe!
Sarah says
Any chance you can sub the eggs with applesauce? I’m egg free too. But I would love a real sandwich type bread!
Amanda says
Did you try it? What did you use to sub the eggs? Was it successful? I am allergic to Almonds, grains, wheat and eggs! So normal baking is out! : (

Hi Kelly,
I just ordered the glass bread pan and the psyllium powder. Cannot wait to try your bread!! One question…when using the coconut milk, do I mix the thick cream in with the watery milk, to make it one consistency?
Many thanks!!

Kelly says
Thanks guys!
Andrea, I think it might if you grind it with a Magic Bullet of coffee grinder.
SPD, I don’t think it will work without eggs.
Emily, So glad you like it! I keep it on the counter with a kitchen towel over the top.
Rochelle, We can’t taste coconut anymore, so I don’t know. The more you use it, the less you taste it.
Amy, Yes, shake the can or blend to mix it.

Hi Kelly, I just made the coconut milk bread and wanted to let you know, it’s DELICIOUS. I made a couple of alterations: (1) I omitted the honey (I didn’t want to eat a sweet bread); (2) I used psyllium husks, not powder; and (3) I baked it in two mini-loaf pans, not one pan. The resultant bread is moist but not cakey. I’ve tried many grain-free bread recipes over the last couple of years, but this is my favourite as far as being like BREAD, not CAKE. Congratulations!

This is amazing. I am already happy that now your books are available in Europe (I bought them all and I am very glad I did), and now this perfect bread! Thank you Kelly.

I made this bread successfully but substituting flax meal for the psyllium husk. It has the texture of a very firm and dense banana bread. When sliced it doesn’t crumble. It was great with almond butter and cherry jam! I did the math and this bread (when sliced into 12) had 7g of fat and 7g of protein per serving.

Kelly,
I made this bread but it didn’t rise like yours. I used a glass bread pan and the exact ingredients you have listed. Any ideas?
Kelly says
Ely,
Mine didn’t really rise either. The top became rounded, but overall it isn’t taller than before baking. I think it rises more if you add a little more coconut milk (another 2 to 4 tablespoons), but then you need to bake it longer of course.

Thank you so much for this recipe, Kelly! The bread baked perfectly in my glass Pyrex bread dish. This is just what I’ve been looking for since going from gluten free to grain free. This bread is delicious right out of the fridge as well as toasted. Enjoying it with eggs for breakfast or as an afternoon snack with almond butter and cinnamon!
LMWorks says
Thanks for the recipe but I didn’t understand how much of the flours to use. The recipe said 2 cups as well as 7.4 oz almond flour and
1/2 cup as well as 2.5 oz. coconut flour. I used the first set of numbers and it was very dense so I’m thinking of trying the smaller quantity but would really like some direction to be absolutely clear.
Susan says
I recently started trying out recipes with psyllium powder because it’s such and AWESOME textural substitute for gluten. I’ve been making a bread/bun recipe from another blog just using almond flour. The cohesiveness is great (I can actually make sturdy, non-crumbly sandwiches out of it), but it never fails to turn my result a weird grayish-purple. Your bread looks SO WHITE! Have you had purplish results? I’m using the NOW brand of powder.
Kelly says
LMWorks,
I included the volume (the measurement in cups), but it is more accurate to use weight (the measurement in ounces). If you would like to try using the weight measurements I recommend picking up an inexpensive postal scale at places like Office Depot. They cost about $20. After you put your bowl on the scale you can zero it out and then add your flour to get the exact amount.
Alternatively, you could try adding 2 to 4 tablespoons more coconut milk. I find that it rises more this way, but takes longer to cook.
All of Grace says
Where can I buy psyllium powder?
GDOT says
This the best grain-free, gluten-free bread EVER! I do replace one of the eggs with ground chia, but everything else I keep as is. I just found it too “eggy” for my taste the first time.
I love the texture, the taste, how it rises and so on.
I’ve been following you and making for recipes for years, and really appreciate what you do for your family and for us, your readers.
Thanks Much!

Commenting again. I just love this bread. So far I’ve baked it in a 4 loaf stoneware mini pan and as muffins! Both were fabulous. The muffin shapes were much easier for transporting and kept me from scarfing a whole loaf in one sitting. It’s fabulous with marmalade and this lovely ficoco spread I found at my local coop. Thanks again Kelly!

My second comment:) I make these into hamburger buns! I use english muffin rings and fill 3/4 full with batter. They are awesome cut in half and spread with butter and jam too!
Brian says
We have found that the bread will rise more if you whip the egg whites separately and fold them into the mix.
danielle maze says
Kelly, Thank you sooo much for this recipe! I have yet to find a gluten free bread that doesn’t either taste like eggs or fall apart on me.
It is just my daughter and I so I halved the recipe and I used chia seeds soaked in water for a little bit to replace an egg (I was worried it would be too eggy). I didn’t have any phylum husk powder but I did have some organic fiber powder, I used that instead and it turned out AMAZING! Held together great, even when toasted, and remained very moist also. Slightly denser than normal bread but that also means it filled up up more too! 😀 Thank you again, I look forward to trying some of your other recopies!

I must have tried about 10 grain-free bread recipes in the 3 months I’ve been on the Wheat Belly way of eating. This recipe is THE BEST I’ve tried. I made a double batch and it turned out really delicious, moist but not wet, springy but not rubbery ! So delighted. (I’ve tried another recipe which calls for psyllium husks which came out quite rubbery… and purple! So I made one change to your recipe; I added 1 tsp of turmeric to try to counteract any “purplishness” that might appear. The result was a lovely golden loaf with no sign of purple at all.) Thank you SO MUCH!!!

Anonymous above: cows around your way must be well different to those we have over here, as ours certainly don’t lay eggs! It isn’t advertised as a vegan recipe, so why such a strop?
Kelly, thanks for the lovely recipe, I made a loaf over the weekend and it turned out absolutely lovely! Even my bf liked it, and he’s usually rather dubious with my experiments… This one is definitely a keeper! I was slightly worried when the dough was liquid enough to be poured into the loaf pan instead of being scoopable, but it rose well and the texture is very good. Might well be because I used almonds I ground myself and homemade coconut flour, so go figure… Mine turned slightly purple though due the psyllium, but I suppose that’s just cosmetic.
Thanks!
Anonymous says
I can understand why a vegan would want an egg substitute, but I don’t understand why the misconception persists that eggs are dairy. Eggs are an animal product, but since they are not the product of the mammary glad of a mammal, it is just not possible for them to be a dairy product. They may occupy the same space on the food pyramid we all stared at as kids, but they are not dairy. This bread may not be vegan appropriate as written, but it most certainly is dairy free.
Michael says
Hello,
This looks good. I wanted to ask (and I think others have already done so) about replacing eggs. I know of egg replacement products like Ener-G and I know that there are other ways to replace eggs- but would they work in this bread recipe or will there be a better choice for replacement?
My other question is about the coconut milk. I wanted to know if there is a reason why you used coconut milk, would this recipe work with almond milk?
Thanks!
Kelly says
I use coconut milk because I am The Spunky Coconut 😉 Seriously, though: I don’t know, I haven’t tried it with almond milk (or egg replacer), but I assume it would work.
Michael says
Thanks. I’ll try it and see how it goes!

Hi, love your site!! Is the coconut milk used as a binder or to assist as a rising agent? I am going to give the almond milk a shot and maybe replace an egg or two 🙂 I will let you know how I go 🙂

I think it helps in the rise, but it’s mostly there for the moisture.

This bread is perfection!! I made it exactly as written, and so far I’ve eaten it plain – lovely; as toast – good but different (a tad hard to dry toast without burning – maybe better grilled?); and the best so far – open face with a tsp of Duke’s mayo, slices of perfectly ripe tomato, and salt & pepper. WOW.

Alison says
Thanks for the recipe, I made it today and the other half pronounced it, ‘not too bad actually’ which is fairly positive for him. 🙂 However, was the honey for any reason other than providing sweetness? I didn’t add it because I thought it would be slightly sweet anyway for a savoury loaf – which it was so I was glad I had omitted it.

Hi Kelly. My adult daughter has completely converted to Paleo diet, and with great results. But one thing she missed was bread. So she and I spent part of today baking legal breads. This bread recipe was one of them, the other was the Paleo Banana Bread recipe from the Civilized Caveman blog. We loved the outcome of both, they are so moist, tender and texture smooth.
The Coconut Milk bread did not turn out as beautiful as yours (but still pretty), perhaps because I had to made a few modifications because I only had 2 jumbo eggs on hand. So, I also replaced one egg using Ener‑G Egg Replacer. I also used the ground flax seed instead of the psyllium (again, because it was not in my pantry). The dough pretty much filled a small (1 1/2 lb size) disposable foil loaf pan and rose to some degree, but not as big as your picture. I also cut the baking time to about 65 minutes. It tested clean at that point and had a great golden color. The flavor was outstanding with a just a hint of coconut. But you already know that.
We toasted a few slices, then spread some with ordinary butter, and some with almond butter and honey. As a result, my daughter hijacked the rest of my loaf and now I must bake tomorrow if I want more. A great, solid recipe! I am looking forward to playing around with it. First try will be some herbal bread or some with dried fruit, nuts and/or orange or lemon zest. Thanks so much. I have learned quite a lot just by trying this recipe and learning that the world no longer has to evolve around wheat products.
Hannah Fairchild says
I don’t have an electric mixer. (now that I finally bought the baking dish). Can it be done without one, would a cheap one work,(like the $10 handheld) or do you need the kitchenaid with dough hooks?. The reviews for the less expensive ones, say it doesn’t work for bread dough. but I don’t know how thick this dough will be. And perhaps I could try mixing it in batches in my food processor? Any opinions or experience.?

Absolutely delicious!

It is so hot today, but I really wanted a yummy breakfast bread. There was no way I was going to turn on my oven- so I made this in my bread machine, which has not seen any use in the two years since my diagnosis (following several disasters early on). It came out perfectly, inside and out! It looked like a regular loaf of bread. I used the bake only setting at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. I guess I’ll be using my bread machine more- this was so simple. I did substitute ground flax for the psyllum husk. Next time I will omit the sea salt (it was too salty for me). I tasted great with a drizzle of honey. Thank you for this recipe!

Great to hear it works in a bread machine (I don’t have one). Thanks!

Just wanted to ask about the taste of this loaf – in the UK our bread is not sweetened at all (unless we want it to be) and I find some of the US recipes produce a loaf too sweet for our palates. What is this one like? There is a coconut and honey, both sweet …

Following your recipe made commercial looking loaves. Impressive! I didn’t know I had it in me! I had to go on faith with the refrigerator rising, but it worked somehow! I also put a pyrex dish of boiling water on the bottom rack.

This sounds great! thanks for posting it. my diet is keto, so i couldn’t use honey. what do you think i could use to replace it? maybe i can have bread again!

I’m keto to. I didn’t use the honey. You honestly don’t need it, it’s sweet enough with all the coconut. The baking made the house smell good to, heck before it was cooked it smelled good.
