Was so excited to try this but something went wrong. Wish I knew what. Taste is good but is really dry and isn’t just crumbly…it disintegrates when touched! The eggs that I had on hand were small so I added 8. Thought that would be enough. Has anyone else needed more than the 40 min? It seems less cooked through the center. Also the dough was always doughy. Never a liquid as such. Is that right? Do you push it into the loaf shape? I kindof left mine in an oval shape. Any hints would be appreciated.

Tried it today. I like it! More than I’ve liked other coconut flour stuff so far. I think it’s too sweet though, to go with savory meals. I tried to turn it into garlic bread but it didn’t quite work. I’m going to try it with cinnamon as French toast, I bet that will be good! I didn’t find it too dense or anything, even without the baking powder. It’s still delicate.

I’m GFCF and would love to try coconut flour recipes but it seems that all of them require lots of eggs. I’m allergic to eggs and wonder if there is a reasonable, healthy substitute. I feel like I’m missing out on a great selection of recipes including this one due to the egg requirement.

Amy – I used large eggs. Did you use regular coconut flour? Not dessicated coconut, right?

I did try the bread because I have the cook book by Dr Fife, however did not turn out good at all. The coconut flour soaked up all the liquid and end up looking like cookie dough. I am not sure why and the bread end up turning very dry and cracked. Can someone help, what size eggs did you use?
