5 ingredients and ready in 20 minutes. Quite a reasonable bread replacement and full of fibre, these flatbreads give me that full feeling and are good for sandwiches etc

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
• 1 Egg
• 1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt (Edit: The original recipe called for 1/4 teaspoon of salt. After further testing we felt like less salt was needed.)
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder – Homemade grain free baking pow

Method

I didn't have coconut oil so I substituted olive oil and it worked ok. My mixture was more a paste than a batter so maybe a little less flour next time.
Tip, use baking parchement or a good non stick tray greased well as they do tend to stick.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix coconut flour, sea salt, and baking powder together until combined.

3. Add egg and melted coconut oil and mix well.

4. Let batter sit for a few minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

5. Scoop half the batter on baking pan and use a spatula to spread batter into a circle the size of a bun.

6. Repeat using the rest of the batter. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Many thanks to the Coconut Mama website for this recipe.

    These looked nothing like the photo and were inedible unfortuantely when using the ratios in this recipe. Decrease the four add more liquid and far less salt and they were ok.

    These were great. I had them with curry and went well. The texture is quite cakey, and the coconut flavour is quite sweet, so with a bit of tweaking, they could probably be successful as a desert with fruit and cream.

    Just made these. Mine did come out looking like the picture and were delicious. I agree I think you can go with even less salt than the 1/8th tsp. They taste more sweet then savoury but would go well with something like eggs benedict. I would be tempted to double the quantity though because there isn’t very much (yes I know we are supposed to be on a diet) 🙂

    Bit disappointed after the reviews. Thought they tasted like a non sweet macaroon. Bit dry, not really sure how to counter that. I will have to practice making them, I think one tablespoon would be better, or level tablespoons rather than rounded. Though an earlier reviewer used them in soup and said they were good. That could be the answer as I do miss having crusty bread with my soup.

    These are . . . odd. The eating quality of stale cake (dry , crumbly). A dominant taste of coconut and salt. I had two tries as I was very keen for these to work (not least because the coconut flour is expensive), but no better on the second attempt.

    I made it using Greek yoghurt instead of coconut oil and it made it soft and fluffy – I added a sprinkling of ground cumin to the tops before they went in the oven too- 10/10!
    I love ostplattar bread too but use lower fat cheddar in it.

    I put less salt in, but it still tasted very salty. I used olive oil. Taste and consistency was ok, felt more like it should be sweet with the coconut. Or might be good with a curry.
    Comes out as 334 calories on mfp, which is more than I’d expected. 11.2g carbs.

    I made a double batch of these to have for sandwiches and burger buns. I did add one tablespoon of parmesan to make them more savory. As a bonus, they crisped up nicely on the edges!
