Time & Servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6 slices
Ingredients
• ¼ cup / 60 g (2.12 oz) coconut flour
• 2 ½ tbsp ground psyllium husks
• ⅓ tsp sea salt
• ⅔ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup / 125 ml (4.2 fl oz) avocado oil
• 1 ⅔ tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• ⅓ cup / 75 ml (2.5 fl oz) warm water
Instructions
1. Prep Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Thoroughly grease an 8×4 inch (20×10 cm) nonstick loaf pan with avocado oil.
2. Combine : Place all —coconut flour, psyllium husks, sea salt, baking soda, avocado oil, melted coconut oil, egg whites, whole egg, and warm water—into a food processor.
3. Mix the Batter: Process for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well-incorporated. It will thicken significantly as the psyllium husk activates.
4. Bake the Loaf: Immediately transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool Completely: Remove the pan from the oven. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial for the texture.
6. Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, use a serrated knife to cut the loaf into 6 slices and enjoy.

Pro Tips
• for Perfect Keto Bread
• Room Temperature is Key: Using room temperature eggs is essential. Cold eggs can cause the coconut and avocado oils to solidify, resulting in a dense, unevenly baked loaf.
• The Cooling Period is Crucial: Resist the urge to slice the bread while it’s warm! Psyllium and coconut flour breads need to cool completely to firm up and develop their structure. Slicing too early can result in a gummy texture.
• Storage Savvy: Store your cooled loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This bread also freezes beautifully—just slice it first for easy grab-and-go toast.
FAQ
Q: Why did my keto bread turn out gummy
A: A gummy texture is usually caused by slicing the bread before it has cooled completely. It is crucial to let the loaf cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. This allows the psyllium and coconut flour to set properly and develop the correct bread-like structure.
Q: Can I substitute the psyllium husks in this recipe
A: We do not recommend substituting the ground psyllium husks. They are essential for creating the bread’s structure and soft crumb, acting as a binder that mimics gluten. Changing this ingredient would require significant adjustments to the entire recipe.
Q: How should I store this keto bread
A: Once completely cooled, store the loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This bread also freezes beautifully. For convenience, slice the loaf before freezing so you can easily grab individual pieces.
Q: Is this keto bread recipe gluten-free
A: Yes, this bread is naturally gluten-free. The primary ingredients are coconut flour and psyllium husks, neither of which contains gluten.
Pro Tips
- Use room temperature eggs. Cold eggs can solidify the coconut and avocado oils, giving you a dense, unevenly baked loaf.
- Process the full batter for 2 minutes so the psyllium husk fully activates – it thickens significantly as it absorbs the liquid.
- Do not slice the bread while it is warm. Psyllium and coconut flour loaves need to cool completely to firm up; slicing early gives a gummy texture.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting with a serrated knife.
- Store the cooled loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze it pre-sliced for easy grab-and-go toast.
