For the fifth day of bake-a-thon, I have a savoury bake made with coconut flour. For this month, I chose to do low carb dishes which makes it really easier for me as I don’t have to ask anyone to finish the dish. I can do it myself. Sruti is slightly disappointed that the number of dishes I made for her was too low. But I compensated with some other dishes I made for her for the regular BM this month. Coming to today’s recipe, I have posted one similar previously – Low Carb Coconut Flour Rosemary Garlic Loaf. Today’s recipe is a slightly different version, not only in the addition of herbs but the main recipe itself. At first I was contemplating whether to post it or not, but if you read both recipes, you can see some differences but still the final result is good in both. These slices can be toasted and enjoyed with butter. I had it for my lunch with roasted chicken. Yes, that is what diet food sounds like in my place.
When I follow a recipe from a blog, I usually go through the comments. They say a lot about the recipe and what troubles we may face while making it. When I was going through the comments, I found that there were too many opinions. Some said that the batter was too runny, while some said that the batter was too thick. And some very very disappointed that the cake was so dry and inedible, while some were praising it. One lady suggested adding some almond milk to the batter if it turns out dry. So I knew that unless I made it, I could never find out. I halved the original recipe. I had to use only three eggs according to the recipe, but as the eggs we get in Madurai are smaller, I used four. Then I also added some milk because the batter was thick. Don’t mind the lopsided bread liner. I had it for so many years in the cupboard that it lost its shape. But the loaf turned out perfect. You can see the texture on the slices. Coconut flour breads tend to dry out faster, so do not over bake them.

Lovely flavours , and I can see you work very hard with the coconut flour recipes . No wonder we call you a scientist ! The loaf looks beautifully baked with a great texture .
It can be seen how much work you are putting into your bakes with coconut flour. I was just wondering how to do you do your macros for this, do you eat it in one day, or split it across days? Please don’t mind my questions… 🙂 When you say that you had this with roast chicken, I started salivating over here… hehe…
Thanks Rafee. I usually split it as two portions and refrigerate one. That way I find it easier to consume without over eating. But some small portioned recipes are made for one meal.
texture of this savoury bread is so differently good, and glad to see you are adpating to the baking theme with your new diet plan too ! flavours of garlic and basil are so pleasing here.
