What’s not to love about an easy gluten-free recipe that’s actually healthy, right?

These days, a lot of people are hopping on the gluten-free train and trusting anything that has the famous “gluten-free” label. But here’s the thing: just because something is labeled gluten-free doesn’t automatically mean it’s better for you.

In fact, many packaged gluten-free products use corn flour as a main ingredient—and that’s not always great for your gut.

???? So, what’s the deal with corn?

Here are a few reasons corn flour might not be the best option, especially if you’re trying to heal your gut:

88% of corn grown in the U.S. is genetically modified (GMO).
Corn can be inflammatory and tough on digestion, especially when eaten in excess.
Many gluten-free products sneak in GMO corn as a cheap filler.

That’s why it’s important to read labels carefully. If a product contains corn, make sure it’s organic or non-GMO whenever possible.

Gluten-Free Coconut Bread

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
3 whole eggs
1/2 cup melted unrefined coconut oil, ghee, or grass-fed butter
1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
2 egg whites
Ghee or coconut oil, for greasing

How to Make It:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, blend all the ingredients using a hand mixer until well combined.
Grease a loaf pan with a little coconut oil or ghee, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and spread it evenly. It might look a little dry—don’t worry! It bakes up beautifully.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let it cool before slicing and enjoying!
