Let The Ingredients Come To Room Temperature
You’ll notice our recipe calls for room-temperature coconut milk, ghee, and eggs. Though it might be tempting to skip this step, you’d also be skipping the fluffy rewards of your patience.
When eggs and ghee are at room temperature, they more easily trap air. That air kicks into action in the oven, expanding to maximize the light, soft texture of this bread. Plus, room temperature coconut milk is much easier to whisk and won’t cool down the other ingredients.
Don’t Forget To Sift Your Coconut Flour
Another easy but important step in this recipe is sifting the flours together. This small act will add a ton of volume to your end result.
Coconut flour is notorious for its ability to soak up liquid. That’s why we go heavy on the liquids and light on the flour in this recipe. A little coconut flour goes a long way in adhering to the wet ingredients.
Batter made with coconut flour will continue to thicken as it is mixed or as it sits. That’s why it is important to mix this batter only until just incorporated, then immediately get it in the oven. Overmixing the batter or allowing it to sit will result in a dense, dry bread.
Helpful Tips To Get You Started:
- Be gentle with the blueberries. We already talked about how important it is to not overmix this batter, so keep that in mind when folding in your blueberries. A few gentle turns with a rubber spatula should do the trick.
- Allow the bread to cool. It’s always tempting to dive right in to a freshly baked loaf, but giving this bread the proper time to cool will allow it to solidify its form a bit. After 10 minutes in the pan, transfer it to a wire rack so the bottom can cool too.
