Cheesy Garlic Quick Bread

Cheesy Garlic Quick Bread

Ok, this is SO good.  Like SOOOO good.  Grain-free, gluten-free, sugar-free, guilt-free GOODNESS.

This is perfect for one of those nights where all you want to do is eat something bad (like me tonight), because it's so good that you almost think it's bad.  That didn't make tons of sense, but you get my point. :) Like the Lemon Pound Cake, this bread uses coconut flour, which doesn't rise as much as all-purpose wheat flour.  It may not make the best sandwhich bread, but it definitely makes a delicious cheesy treat to accompany any soup, salad, or stirfry.  Next time, I'm going to pour the batter into little muffin tins and make dinner rolls.

My only concern with this bread:  I could probably eat an entire loaf to myself.  There's 6 eggs in it.  Not a good idea, Stephanie, not a good idea.  


Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (this is optional, you can definitely make the bread without)
• 11/2 tsp. baking powder
• 11/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 - 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack, whatever your heart desires)
• A small handful of chopped chives or green onion

Method

• Preheat oven to 350 and grease and flour a small bread pan.
• In a food processor, combine all ingredients except cheese and chives until combined (not too long!)  If you don't have a food processor, you can do this by hand with a whisk until there are no lumps in the mixture.
• Stir in cheese and chives.
• Pour the mixture into the bread pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
