Here is true vegan’s guide to making an egg-free flour bread.

You need to de-clump the coconut flour first. Coconut flour is prone to forming lumps. The best way to de-clump it is by mixing it with a fork so as to remove air bubbles and any lumpy bits.
Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. This will make your bread double in size once you incorporate the liquid ingredients to it. Make sure that your ratio of coconut flour is equal to the ratio of the liquid. For example, if you have 2 tbsp of coconut flour then it means that you should add 2 tbsp of liquid. By incorporating an equal amount of liquid to the coconut flour, your bread will not come out dry or crumbly.
Just a heads-up that coconut flour has a slight smell and taste of the coconut but it does not overpower but rather blends really well with the other ingredients. It will also become pretty dense when baked.
Eggs are a binding agent when it comes to baking. The following are a good substitute for eggs in binding the ingredients all together:
• Combine 1 tbsp of chia seed or flax seed to 3 tbsp water for 1 egg.
• Combine 1 tbsp psyllium husks to 2 tbsp water for 1 egg.
• Use 1 teaspoon baking water mix in 1 tbsp white vinegar for 1 egg
• You can use also Ener-g egg replacer.
When combining all the ingredients for the egg-free coconut flour bread, you may use a blender or a hand-held mixer to blend them all well.

There you have it. This guide will help you out in making your egg-free coconut flour bread easier and hassle-free.
