🍞 Still Craving Bread? Here’s a Blood Sugar–Friendly Way to Say “Yes” to Your Cravings

Let’s be real—bread is comfort. But for anyone navigating insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, or simply aiming to eat more mindfully, traditional bread often gets cut out of the picture.

What if I told you there’s a version that nourishes your gut, supports blood sugar balance, and still satisfies your bread cravings?

Introducing: Coconut Plantain Bread

A gluten-free, grain-free, and prebiotic-rich recipe designed for people who want real nourishment—not just empty carbs.

Yummy...

🌿 Why This Bread Works (Beyond the Flavor)

✅ Low Glycemic Load (~6 per slice)

Thanks to its high fiber content and a thoughtful balance of healthy fats, this bread digests slowly—helping prevent blood sugar spikes that can leave you feeling drained or foggy.

✅ Rich in Prebiotics

Using green banana flour and plantains supports gut bacteria, feeds your microbiome, and improves digestion.

✅ No Gluten, No Gimmicks

No baking powder, no processed flours. Just whole ingredients like coconut flour, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar—all of which contribute nutrients, not just structure.

✅ Banana = Option

Prefer sweeter, softer results?

You can swap ripe bananas for plantains for a slightly different, but equally nourishing loaf.

✨ My Morning Go-To

This has become my go-to morning bread recipe—something I’ve refined over time through a lot of experimenting. I was on a mission to create something that not only met nutritional needs (fiber-rich, low glycemic) but also brought back that joyful experience of eating bread: the texture, the warmth, and the aroma fresh from the oven.

This version checks all the boxes for me:✔️ It’s gentle on blood sugar✔️ It supports digestion✔️ It feels like bread—without the crash.
