Try ground nuts (almonds, e.g.) instead.

Last night I tried the coconut bread recipe, but I used a half cup of applesauce instead of the ghee/butter and omitted the honey.

(I also adjusted the temp to 325 because I was using a dark pan, but I used about the same time: 38-39 minutes.)

It was delicious! The taste and texture were lovely; it was all I could do not to eat the whole batch all at once. It smelled really good while baking, too.

It made a great dessert with a little apple-sweetened blackberry spread.

Thank you, Mark; you’ve really helped me satisfy my bread cravings!

I’m allergic to coconut, but really love baking. I still want to go primal…Any suggestions?

Despite being GF and Kosher, Calumet baking soda still has corn. We have the same dietary limitations as you, and here’s how we make our baking powder:

1 part baking soda
2 parts cream of tartar
2 parts tapioca starch

Mix well. Use as you would the store-bought.

You’re welcome! I eat these pretty much every day. And, like you’ve mentioned, once you’re away from sweeteners, you don’t miss the syrup/honey/agave or whatever most people put on pancakes and waffles these days.

These are so good, they don’t even need butter. But who am I to stop anyone from adding some? (I once learned the cardinal rule of cooking from an organic chef… “When in doubt, add mo’ butter!”

I’m a monster coconut lover… it’s my favorite food on the planet, hands down.

I’ll share my coconut pancake/waffle recipe, because most of the recipes I’ve seen contain high numbers of eggs compared to mine (for the record: I love eggs, too, but I prefer a coconut-dominant flavor rather than an egg-dominant flavor to my pancakes & waffles).

1 can (15oz) coconut milk
3/4 cup shredded coconut
2/3 cup almond meal
1 or 2 eggs (one is plenty for waffles, you may want to go to two for pancakes, or if you like ‘em eggy)
tiny bit of salt
tiny bit of baking powder
and, if you’re doing them, vanilla and coconut extracts (1/2 tsp and 4-6 drops, respectively)

Amazing. Seriously. If you make waffles, let them cook a long time until they’re crispy. Enjoy!
