Coconut Flour Breakfast Bake

coconut-flour-breakfast-bakes

I’ve really come around to loving coconut flour over the past few months. At first I made vanilla cupcakes, then chocolate ones; then at some point I realized I needed to learn to make something else with coconut flour besides cupcakes or else I’m going to be having a lot of dessert. Since coconut flour is so healthy, I thought why not make a breakfast with it?

2 Tablespoons of coconut flour have 6g of fiber and 3g of protein. That’s already more than most breakfast cereals. Combined with some eggs for extra protein, banana for sweetness(because the thought of starting my day with something savory makes me shudder), and nut butter for healthy fats it’s a really filling way to start the day. Besides, coconut and banana just belong together. And rum. But I’m not quite sure for breakfast.

I don’t actually bake these because I have a microwave that I love and use but if you were to bake these set the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes or until the center has set.

Coconut Flour Breakfast Bake

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 3 minutes

Ingredients(For one serving):

Method:

  1. In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients you’re using into a smooth and even batter. If the batter is too thick, slowly add water until it’s mixable.
  2. Pour the batter into a 6oz or 8oz ramekin depending on the number of eggs you used.
  3. Microwave at high for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from the microwave. Top with dried fruits, nuts, or nut butter. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.

With 3 eggs and 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter, this has about 30g of protein, 11g of fiber, and plenty of healthy fats to fill up and let you focus on other things throughout your morning.

    Ohhh, love yours with the lemon zest. I made one of these last week and it’s now my favorite breakfast bake to date. Coconut flour is pretty much awesome.

      Yep, basically. Haha. What brand do you use? The bag I went through was Let’s Do Organic’s. Probably getting theirs again unless there’s a cheaper option.

    Can you use a flax egg instead of real eggs?

    I made this for breakfast this morning! With almond butter and shredded coconut sprinkled on top. It was delicious and so filling!

  12. […] every morning. Either it’s a bowl of gluten-free oats with eggs, banana and peanut butter or a coconut flour breakfast bake topped with peanut butter, unless I’m in a sweets mood in which case I’ll make a paleo mug cake […]

    I love this recipe! I’ve tried it with almond butter and with macadamia cashew butter. The lemon zest rounds out the flavor.

    These are so good! We don’t have a microwave. I doubled the recipe and baked it in an 8 inch square pan for about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. 🙂

    Thank you so much for posting! I made this today and it was absolutely wonderful! I added some raw sugar and a few chocolate chips. I also drizzled with homemade chocolate syrup from the blog below, and enjoyed this as a dessert 🙂
    Thanks again!!

    I’m sorry to say but this recipe did not taste good or look appealing. You didn’t indicate how the “quiche” should look when done and ready to remove from the microwave. I had high hopes for a new breakfast dish. I am not a good cook by any means. what should it look like when ready to remove from microwave?

    I absolutely love this! It’s so easy and quick. It’s like having banana cake without the guilt. 😉

    I make it often and just wrote about it on my blog. I used one of your photos (and credited it to you). Please let me know if that’s ok or if you’d like me to take it down.

    Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe.
