What happens when you combine a tired mom solo parenting all weekend, with a teething baby, rule-testing toddler, and an overwhelmingly messy house. Grey hair? Tears? Emotionally-driven texts? Countdowns until bedtime? Well yes, all of that. But more importantly, you get lots of paleo toasted coconut coffee bread shoved in your mouth.
Caffeine takes on a whole new meaning when you become a mom. If I could inject that stuff in my veins, I very likely would. But instead, I add it to anything and everything I consume. Case and point – bread.
I already adore my paleo almond cocoa mocha energy bites, but it was due time for another coffee creation. Did I make this yummy breakfast/dessert bread in the midst of the weekend chaos? Ummm haaaall no! You crazy?! I whipped this beauty up during the week, but thank grrrrawd I did, because it was much, MUCH needed when I least expected it.
“Who bakes during the work week?” you ask. Well, no one. Correction – moms who totally have it together and rock at everything Pinterest and mommying bake during the week. But that’s not me. I made this beauty during the work week to enter in a fun ‘lil contest – and I’d love your vote!
Kohnana Coffee is giving away $1,000 to the winner of their recipe contest using any of their cold brew products. So I thought, “Hmmm I mean, I could use a thousand bucks. The kids need new clothes, swimming lessons, preschool costs, etc. This mom hasn’t bought new clothes in years, could use a massage, is dreaming of hiring a cleaning lady, and would love to go on a date night.” Hmmm, PRIORITIES.
So should you vote for me out of pity, or because you actually think this recipe is deserving? Honestly, I’ll take either. No shame.

You guys are the best. Oh, and just FYI, we survived the weekend thanks to lots of Thomas the Train, frozen teething rings, and making Instagram stories as my personal therapy.
And because caffeine and chocolate is sort of the perfect pairing, you won’t want to make this without that decadent chocolate spread!
Paleo Toasted Coconut Coffee Bread
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cold brew coffee
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 4 eggs
Top Layer

- 3 teaspoons unsweetened coconut flakes
Chocolate Coffee Spread
- 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 3 teaspoons cold brew coffee
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon nut butter of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and baking soda
- In a separate bowl, combine the cold brew, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, and eggs. Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix well to combine
- Pour the combined mixture into a greased loaf pan, place into the oven, and set timer for 40 minutes.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil and add the coconut sugar. Once the 40 minutes are up, take the bread out of the oven and top with the crumbled coconut oil/sugar mixture and 3 teaspoons shredded coconut. Place back into the oven an additional 5 minutes, or until the center is set.
- To make the chocolate spread, combine the chocolate chips, cold brew, coconut oil, and nut butter into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate has fully melted. Let cool slightly and spread over each slice of bread.
MM love the density of this bread!! I would slather some peanut or almond butter on this and have it for breakfast!
It looks PERFECT Chrissa; going to vote for you! A slice of homemade sweet bread with nut butter always seems to just make a tough day better. 🙂 May God fill you with the peace of Christ and His everlasting love this week. <3
You’re speaking my love language today! This looks so delicious!
Hi there. I’m new to the Paleo world and I love your blog! I love this recipe and can’t wait to try it….and I love almonds….but they hate me!! Almond flour upsets the tummy :-/ Is it possible to make this with coconut flour? Or I’m happy to hear of another substitute. I’m a foodie and a cook so I hate when people totally redo the recipe with their own thing, but I just wanted to see if it’s possible to sub another type of gluten free flour with almond flour?
made this today! 2 “slices” remain.. delicious!!!
Looks amazing to this girl who doesn’t drink coffee very much ??
Voted!!
Please share an example of a cold-brewed coffee and non-dairy chocolate chips. (Do you mean carob chips?)
I used Kohana Cold Brew but you could even used strong brewed, chilled coffee. Carob chips would work of dairy-free ones like the Enjoy Life brand.
Where do you buy coconut sugar? Can this be replaced with something else?
Thanks!
Sure, if you aren’t concerned about keeping it paleo, you can use regular sugar. Most grocery stores have coconut sugar. I buy mine at Trader Joe’s but I’ve seen it at Target too!
This looks delicious! Can you replace the eggs in this one and if so do you suggest the flax or chia egg? I’be heard each one provides a different consistency to baked goods. Thanks!
I haven’t tried it but I would guess a flax egg would work!
This is by far one of the best paleo recipes I’ve ever made! Coconut and coffee is always a win-win in my book. Thank you!! Can’t wait for more delicious ideas!
Oh this makes me so happy! Glad you loved it Andi!
Hi, as far as I know baking powder isn’t Paleo, so should I just use the baking soda instead?
Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks
