Gluten Free Cheesy Garlic Coconut Quick Bread

Prepared by Sarah Shilhavy, photo by Jeremiah Shilhavy

Servings: 6

6 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey (if using solid honey melt first)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coconut flour
Black pepper, to taste
Flax seeds (optional), to taste
1/2 – 1 teaspoon garlic powder (adjust to taste)
1/2 – 1 cup shredded cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Blend all ingredients except cheese in a food processor (or whisk by hand) until there are no lumps. If the batter is a little dry just add a tablespoon of water as needed. It should be a pretty moist, almost pourable batter. Stir in cheese. Pour into greased bread pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until done (toothpick inserted in center comes out clean).

Pam: It's totally delicious! Very cheesy with a nice coconut flavor. :)

Marla: Ooo, if you do, come back and let me know how you like it!

This bread is moist and so delicious! I added 1/4 c. ground flax to mine. It's got a nice buttery and nutty taste.

Is there anything else that we could use that could replace the cheese. My daughter and I have enjoyed your banana muffins and your lemon-lime muffins too. These are the best recipes I have found for gluten, sugar and dairy free. The tropical traditional coconut oil is also the best around. Thank you.

Sandra: Glad you like it!

Cathy: Just omit the cheese if you want it to be dairy free. It'll still be incredible. I'm so glad you enjoyed the muffin recipes and love our coconut oil! :)

I'm afraid I didn't care for this bread. The problem for me was the mix of sweetness from the honey and coconut flour with the savory taste from the garlic and cheese. The two just don't go together. However, the recipe might work if the garlic and cheese were omitted and it was left as a sweet bread. I do like the use of six eggs so you are getting lots of protein.

Just cut back or omit the honey if you don't like the sweet/savory contrast.

Hi, yes I will try this recipe again with a few alterations. It certainly is easy! I also wanted to say my boyfriend told me he "loves" this bread. :)

I tried this for the first time today. I can't say that I thought it was delicious, but it wasn't that bad either..my husband said "it's good"..but I wasn't that enthusastic. A little bland. I used 1 cup of cheese, 1/4 cup flax.

This recipe is extremely versatile. I always omit the sugars because I am insulin resistant (Type II Diabetes) so I use Organic Stevia Extract. This recipe can be used for any sort of quick bread that you desire. I have added all sorts of other flavors such a finely chopped Sun Dried Tomatoes along with basil, garlic, thyme, etc, to make an "Italianish" bread. I never tried this recipe with the sweetener but did use the garlic and cheese. I use many different cheeses to achieve different flavor qualities. A big thanks to Christina in British Columbia. :-) Peace.

Can this recipe be made using egg substitutes? I've tried coconut flour pancakes with a flax substitute for eggs but didn't have good luck so I'm wondering if coconut flour requires eggs? Thanks:)

what size pan would you use?

# Posted By Betty | 11/28/10 6:52 PM

Whan can I replace the butter with

# Posted By k2thleen | 6/18/11 1:32 PM

Sounds great can you substitute coconut oil for part of the butter?

# Posted By Claudette | 6/18/11 4:42 PM

One of my all time favorite recipes!

# Posted By Lee | 7/12/11 10:36 AM

I substituted the butter for coconut oil and the cheese with a dairy free and soy free cheese called Daiya. It's made of tapioca starch and melts like real cheese. Kinda wish I had read through all the comments and I might have reduced the honey a bit...oh well,it's in the oven now, let's see how it turns out!

# Posted By Robin | 7/31/11 4:25 PM

I omitted the honey because I wanted a savory bread to go with marinara sauce. It turned out fantastic. Next time I will leave out the garlic instead and go for a sweeter bread. I love the versatility of the recipe.
