Coconut and buckwheat bread

So, I’ve been having lots of problems with digestion, low energy leves, and skin-acne lately. And I decided to get tested for candida overgrowth and food intolarances, and surprise surprise…All of my problems were eplained by candida and lacose and gluten intolerance. Happy about it? Nope. But it’s nice to finally know whats wrong and start making a change. 

And I have been seeing slight changes since I started watchig my diet, which is amazing :D No more bloating, no more stomach pains - well, almost, but I am still figuring this out…and my skin is already looking a bit better yaaay :D

So, now the problem is: is there ANYTHING I CAN EAT?? I admit it, I was a bit depressed for the first few days, especially because all of this happened during the holidays, and we all know there is no worse time to be told you can’t it something…and I felt like I was told I can’t eat anything…sucks, right? 

But after the initial shock was over and I started doing some research I found out there is actually loads of delicious thing I CAN eat :D and this is the first, of hopefully many recipes, to come your way. 

It’s a gluten free, dairy free and candida friendly bread loaf that looks amazing and can be made savoury or sweet, WHAAAT? Yup, it’s true :D

Here’s what you’ll need:

- 1/2 cup coconut flour

- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour

- 1/2 cup coconut milk - only use the creamy part

- 5 eggs

- 2 tbs coconut oil

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 tsp baking powder

* If you want to make this a sweet loaf, which is also delicious and perfect as a snack or to go with your afternoon tea, just add STEVIA to taste 

HOW TO:

Mix together the eggs, coconut oil and salt (and stevia if you’re making a sweet loaf). Now add coconut flour, coconut milk, buckwheat flour and baking powder. I recommend you add the dry ingredients one at a time, mixing inbetween. Once everything is mixed together take a loaf pan and lightly gease it with some coconut oil. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan. I sprinkled mine with some pumpkin and sunflower seeds and coconut flour, to give it a nicer look and crunch, but this is completely optional :D Bake for 30min on 175C or until golden brown 

Bon apetit :*

COCONUT FLOUR

This is a great way to sub your wheat flours, it doesn’t contain gluten and it’s delicious. It’s consistency makes bread or any other product you make with it more airy and light.

The bread made with cocout flour is a low carb one and it’s high in fiber, which helps your digestion, also making is perfect for candida.
