Ingredients

• 3/4 cup hot water
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup oats, optional
• 1/4 cup coconut, shredded, optional
• 1/3 cup liquified or melted coconut oil or olive oil or sesame oil
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 1/2 cups coconut flour
• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour or bread flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons granulated yeast or 1 (0.25-ounce) packet rapid-rise yeast

Preparation

Step 1

Add all ingredients to bread maker canister, exactly as listed (in order) from top to bottom, but after adding flours make a small well in which to measure in the yeast.

Snap the canister back into the bread maker, and turn it onto the "light" quick-bread settings (3-hour cycle).

After mixing has been ongoing for about 2 or 3 minutes, using a spatula, push the accumulated flour in the corners toward the paddle center.

Then allow the bread maker to go through all kneading and rising cycles to the end.
Unplug and using pot-holders pull out canister to cool bread slightly before removing (and the loaf will pop out with a few taps).

Depending on your model of bread maker, slight adjustments to liquid might need to be made.
