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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper or use silicone muffin cups.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add coconut milk, honey (if using), melted ghee, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the ensaymada bread is cooled, brush the tops with the additional melted ghee and sprinkle generously with unsweetened shredded coconut.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Enjoy your Whole30 Ensaymada Bread!
