Ingredients

Scale
  • ยฝ cup (60g) coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ยผ cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • โ…“ cup (80ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ยฝ teaspoon baking powder
  • ยผ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Place your cast iron skillet inside while it preheats.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until frothy and light yellow.
  3. Add the melted butter (warm, not hot), maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Break up any clumps.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon zest (if using). Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
  8. Spoon the batter into the hot skillet and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 22-28 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let it cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Don’t skip preheating the skillet for crispy edges. Let the bread rest for 10 minutes before slicing to prevent crumbling. Room temperature eggs are important to avoid lumpy batter. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first.
