Coconut Flour--who knew?

This is the last recipe for today, I promise.  But this bread was so moist and delicious and gluten free to boot!  It's really good enough to serve to company, and you could do so many variations.  Next time I'm either going to use mashed bananas and pecans, or crushed pineapple and macadamia nuts.  Dried cherries and almonds would be divine, too.  Or applesauce and raisins.  You can have lots of fun with this one!

Coconut Flour Cranberry Nut Bread

8 eggs

½ cup coconut oil or butter, melted

½ cup coconut milk or regular milk

½ cup sugar (or ¼ cup Splenda for Baking)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon orange extract*

½ teaspoon salt

2/3 cup sifted coconut flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup dried cranberries

½ cup walnuts, chopped

In large bowl, blend together eggs, butter, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, orange extract, and salt.

In small bowl, sift together coconut flour with baking powder.  Add to egg mixture and whisk thoroughly into batter until there are no lumps. Fold in cranberries and nuts.

Pour into greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 60 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.

*If you don’t have orange extract, you could use lemon or just leave it out. 

 

Now this one sounds really GOOD!!!!! BUT...Rick is allergic to coconut!!! Soooo can't make it! Dang!! So will you eat a slice for me? ;-)

One of these days I am going to make all your recipes....but lately I hae been working 7 days a week, can't even remember when I had a day off. They all sound so good and thanks for trying them first. Hugs, Marti
ps in the meantime, I have just been buying my bread at "Silly Yak" Bakery [say it aloud ]

LOL!  Oh, that's so cute!  Silly Yak!  Some people are so clever.

Hi Vickie,

Please don't stop posting the recipes.  I have been cutting and pasting them into Word documents,  and one day soon I'll start making them.

This one sounds like a real winner.

Have a great day!

Thank you, sistas!  I'm trying not to be obnoxious and "push" my new gluten free diet on everyone, but it HAS made a difference in the way I feel and I want to share it with those I love.  And it also got the weight loss started up again. 

I only post my "success" stories, though!  I've had more than a few experimental gluten free flops!  LOL!

And thank you, Marti, for getting me started on this quest!  If you hadn't posted about the Wheat Belly book, I would never have know any of this.

You all should check out www.glutino.com for some of their products.  Wal Mart carries a few of their things.  I'm telling you, their Gluten Free Pantry Sandwich Bread mix is the best!  Easy to make and makes a big loaf. 

Love you all!

Vic

Vickie....this sounds so good....and so many options to make...thank you!!

I will be passing it on to my daughter.

The crackers sound good but neither I nor my family like cheese type crackers so I will pass on that one.
