4 ingredient low carb bread made with coconut flour gelatin parsnips coconut oil

Thank you again for all the sweet words on Lori’s pregnancy journey. I am so happy for her and Gary. And Jax of course. Our dad loves to shop on Amazon and every now and then we get a surprise box in the mail. Yesterday Lori got a special delivery in the mail. Baby toys for baby M.  Gotta love grandparents!

Jax was a little confused on why we did not give him the toys. He sat there in the kitchen looking up at the counter as Lori and I unwrapped everything.  Don’t worry Jax, there will be plenty of toys for you too!

Oh boy was it hot yesterday. We took Jax to the park and only lasted about 10 minutes. All of us were sweating. Summer time is here in full force. Not complaining as I love the hot weather. I think that comes from growing up in south Florida. I love my sun and I know Lori does too! One thing that has been cooling us off lately is fresh fruit – mainly peaches and figs. Our top 2 favorite fruits.

And we’ve been playing around with some new recipes that will be coming to the blog soon. Today we are sharing one recipe that we randomly put together during our road trip to Duck Key on our vacation. A few of you mentioned that you wanted that recipe.  But… we did not write down exactly what we did, therefore we had to play around with some ideas and pray one would work!

Once we got home we were determined to figure out how to make that low-carb bread again. Well, lower in carbs than normal white processed bread 🙂

How to make low-carb, grain-free parsnip bread.

When discussing this recipe we knew the ingredients were short and simple.  We also knew that it was similar to our 3 ingredient plantain bread.

All you really need to make this low-carb is 4 main ingredients.  Parsnips, eggs, coconut flour and coconut oil.  This recipe makes a moist, dense bread.

We also played around with another version to make a lighter style of bread.

This one we took out the coconut oil and added in a nut butter. We used macadamia nut butter. Again you can use anything you want, even a seed butter would work.

Now we added in baking powder to the next recipe but again it is optional as well as the gelatin. We added gelatin in for the additional protein and gut healing properties. Why use baking powder? It helps to lift the bread even more to create a lighter bread.

I have yet to cook with parsnips, but will definitely put this one on my list of new things to try…I am always up for being adventurous! 😉

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 10:49 am

Meg @ A Dash of Meg July 16, 2014 - 10:58 am

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:12 pm

Let us know if you try it!

Deana July 16, 2014 - 11:08 am

Don’t parsnips have a slight turnip zing? How does that translate to the bread? You two must buy all the plantains and parsnips in your area!

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:13 pm

Deana we like the taste, never has bothered us. The bread just tastes like parsnips.

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More July 16, 2014 - 11:49 am

Hmmm..I’m definitely intrigued! I LOVE the plantain bread. It’s been my favorite for pre-long run meals. I used half of it with tahini, avocado and eggs for an open-faced sandwich for dinner the night before, then the next morning I have the other half with almond butter & banana. It makes me feel like I’m eating how I would otherwise but with a gluten-free, grain-free option that my tummy will like. 🙂

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:13 pm

All sounds great Katie!

Heather @ FITaspire July 16, 2014 - 12:28 pm

I eat lower carb than I used to, that’s for sure! I love the sound of this bread too – need to try it after the show.:)

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:13 pm

You would like it Heather!

Marin July 16, 2014 - 12:38 pm

Not so easy getting parsnips around here. Would sweet potatoes work?

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:14 pm
Annie July 16, 2014 - 2:14 pm

oops ! I bought Rutabaga…not a parsnips…do you think I can try with rutabaga ? lol

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:14 pm

Annie you can always try 😉

mayacook July 16, 2014 - 3:06 pm

This bread sounds nice…however I thought parsnips was not low carb…maybe I got it wrong…which would suit me,’cause I like it too::

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:15 pm

Maya they are low carb compared to other “carb” foods.

lindsay July 16, 2014 - 3:59 pm

oh i love this idea! i wonder if rhubarb would work? i’m getting all excited with these options!

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 4:15 pm

Lindsay it just might, glad you are liking the recipes 😉

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table July 16, 2014 - 4:36 pm

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?! You totally out-strange me. LOL! I’m going to try this now that I’m in the gelatin train. It really helps!

purelytwins July 16, 2014 - 6:18 pm

Ronny July 16, 2014 - 10:04 pm

I’ve never tried Parsnips before. I was looking for some paleo bread options and came across your site. I’ll have to try out this recipe and your plantain bread.

purelytwins July 17, 2014 - 9:57 am

Ronny glad you found us!! Enjoy the bread recipes.

Brittany @ Delights and Delectablesit July 17, 2014 - 7:31 am

I”m having to go grain free, so I’m def trying this!

purelytwins July 17, 2014 - 9:57 am

Brittany let us know how you like it!

Michelle @ Vitamin Sunshine July 17, 2014 - 9:20 am

Yay! Super creative. I’m so glad to see this, because I don’t really like the sweetness of the plantain bread, as much as I want to like it. I love parsnips, so I’m sure this will work out great for me.

purelytwins July 17, 2014 - 9:58 am

Michelle you will love this bread!

Lindsey July 17, 2014 - 2:37 pm

I hate to be the one to ask but: any way to make egg free?
thanks so much!!

Heather July 17, 2014 - 9:10 pm

Looking forward to trying this once I’m off the GAPS diet! I’ve trained one of your plantain recipes and have to give this a go.

purelytwins July 18, 2014 - 10:25 am

Awesome Heather!! let us know how you like it

Sara July 19, 2014 - 5:09 pm

Egg free version ? I can’t eat them.

Raelyn July 20, 2014 - 10:49 pm

Why aren’t your recipe instructions complete? It doesn’t say when to add the nut flour. And you don’t have coconut oil listed in the ingredients, so I had no idea how much to add. Hopefully it turns out! In the oven now. Also,I out it into the Vitamix and the ingredients would not blend after the initial blend. I had to stir in the gelatin and baking soda by hand because it was too thick in the blender. Once I added the coconut oil though it blended better. Hoping this turns out!

purelytwins July 21, 2014 - 8:53 am

we will update that recipe, the nut butter goes in with the eggs and parsnips part at the beginning. In the video we show all the steps too.

Raelyn July 22, 2014 - 1:50 pm

Thanks for the update! I don’t see a video on this page. Maybe because I’m using my iPad? One more suggestion…. I think the pan really needs to be greased (maybe with coconut oil) beforehand. My loaf stuck to the pan so I lost the bottom of it when I tried to get it out. Also, I used the gelatin and baking powder in my recipe. The bread definitely rose while it was in the oven, but it dropped as soon as I took it out and the bread was only maybe an inch thick? I’m not sure the baking powder made that much of a difference?

purelytwins July 22, 2014 - 3:42 pm

sorry that the video is not working for you. yes oiling the pan is fine to do to help with sticking. it is not a thick bread, it is more soft and dense

katie July 21, 2014 - 10:25 pm

woah I can’t wait to make this!

how do you guys make your protein mush again? I forget! I want to try it!

Purelytwins February 17, 2015 - 7:57 am

Hey katie, sorry we missed this comment. We make our mush my adding in our protein powder into a small bowl and slowly add water until it is thick. We also add in some coconut oil.

Allison B February 16, 2015 - 2:40 pm

Finally tried this bread and loved it!!!! Soooo good! Made a yummy chicken, avocado, and kale sandwich with this for lunch – yum!b

purelytwins February 16, 2015 - 7:17 pm

yay Allison, so happy to hear it!! enjoy

Kendra April 19, 2017 - 1:48 pm

Hello lovely ladies! I am wondering if this recipe could work with flax eggs to make it vegan? Thanks!

purelytwins April 20, 2017 - 12:35 am

We haven’t tried that yet so unsure if it would. But if you try it, it might just be very dense and moist. It already is using eggs.
