Healthy savory coconut flour muffins! Made with delicious coconut flour, but without the nutty taste. Gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, low-carb, Paleo.
I’ve been experimenting with bread recipes lately, and trying to find one that is free of the most common allergens. It’s so hard to find something that suits every intolerance under the sun, but I think this coconut flour bread comes pretty darn close. It’s free of gluten, grains, soy, dairy and nuts. This is Paleo and Keto friendly as well.
It’s so difficult to find a good quality bread substitute that isn’t full of junk ingredients. Plus, unless you live by a natural grocery store such as Whole Foods, the choices can be extremely limited. I find that it’s best to make my own, most of the time anyway.
Coconut flour can be a difficult flour to work with, since it absorbs so much liquid. You can’t use it in the same proportions as regular flour, or you would end up with something as hard as a rock (ask me how I know this). This recipe is intended for use with coconut flour and coconut flour alone.
I usually purchase my coconut flour from Walmart because it is the cheapest I have found. It’s much more affordable than almond flour or another flour substitute. Plus you don’t need very much of it for a recipe, so it lasts much longer too.
The main down side to using coconut flour is that it does have a mild coconut taste. If you’re not a fan, don’t fret, you can easily mask the flavor by adding seasonings. If you make your bread plain, expect that it will have a slight nuttiness to it.
I decided to make these into breakfast muffins, so I topped mine with Trader Joe’s “Everything But The Bagel” seasoning, which is fantastic stuff. This is an optional step, and one where you can get creative with the flavors!
You’ll also be happy to know that this can be made into either bread or muffins. If you do make it into bread, I would suggest doubling the recipe so that it fits in a bread pan, and increasing the cook time by 10-15 minutes.
Either that or you could just plop the dough onto a baking sheet. You could even make it into rolls by separating the dough into approximately six balls (if single recipe), or twelve (if doubled). Cook time for rolls is approximately the same as for muffins, but ovens vary, so be sure to watch them closely.

Hello! Ms. Deanna,
Greetings
I am wondering if you csn share on how to make bread using coconut flour? Please email me at vvc.coco@ gmail.com.
Thank you,
Liza
Hi Liza, you can make this recipe into bread by doubling the recipe and cooking for 30-35 minutes. This is stated in the instructions. I hope this answers your question.
Can they be put into the fridge the night before you want to bake them ? I want to have them for breakfast, but don’t have time to prepare them in the morning.
Yes, you can do that. I would recommend keeping the dough covered in the fridge, so it doesn’t dry out.
What is…. 1 Tbs. everything but the bagel seasong”
????
What does this mean? What do we add to the recipe?
Hi Brenda, it is a type of seasoning you can find at Trader Joes and other grocery stores, and it tastes just like the seasoning on an everything bagel. You can omit it, if you want plain muffins. It’s optional.
I made rhem and even my son liked them and said they reminded him of Red Lobster’s garlic biscuits because of the seasoning. If you eat them while warm, they are the best.
Thank you Charlotte, so happy you and your son enjoyed them!
Can these frozen after they are baked? How long would they last? I thought I could make them then put a cooked sausage patty between them and freeze them for easy premade breakfasts.
Hi Jenna, you can certainly freeze them after they’ve been baked. I’ve done that and it works well. I have frozen them for around 30 days with no issues. I recommend keeping them in either aluminum foil, or parchment paper inside a ziploc bag. That worked well for me.
Does the butter or coconut oil need to be melted?
Hi Kyla! Yes, it should be melted. Thanks so much for asking, I have added this to the recipe card.
Hi, how long do these keep for? In the fridge or on the counter? Looking forward to making these. Thanks
Hi Corinne, these should keep for 3-4 days on the counter, or for a week in the fridge.
I’m just gonna say AMAZING! I’m on the gaps diet (just started) and I’m a huge baker, I love everything with yeast and lots of sugar so this diet 🥴 it’s a whole thing for me. Im also allergic to a lot of things so I can’t bake with nuts just yet so coconut flour is the only option and tbh I’m not a fan of coconut at all. These turned out SOOO good, I did half coconut oil and half olive oil for flavour and used sea salt . Im loving these little savoury muffins (I’m eating one rn) thank you so much for the recipe !!! I’ll be checking for more gaps approved recipes ! Love, from argentina
Thank you so much, Lauren! I’m thrilled to hear that you love them and that it worked well with half coconut oil and half olive oil!!
Easy and delicious. Lovely texture. Will make these again
Thank you so much, Jean! So glad you enjoyed them.
