Eggs
Baking powder
Salt
Unsweetened almond milk or other milk alternative

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, almond milk, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture.
