Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, Whole30 flexible)
- 0.25 cup melted ghee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup melted ghee for topping
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper or use silicone muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add coconut milk, honey (if using), melted ghee, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the ensaymada bread is cooled, brush the tops with the additional melted ghee and sprinkle generously with unsweetened shredded coconut.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Enjoy your Whole30 Ensaymada Bread!
