THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

🔅 All ovens bake a bit differently, so keep an eye on your bake and adjust the time/temperature if needed.
🔅 Everyone’s taste is unique — feel free to tweak sweetener, salt, or spices to make it just right for you.
🔅 Different ingredient brands can absorb moisture differently, so your texture may vary slightly.
🔅 The base recipes yield smaller batches, as the high fibre content makes these bakes naturally more filling. A smaller portion is often enough to feel satisfied — balance is key for the best experience.
🔅 High-fibre flours behave differently from traditional or other gluten-free flours. They absorb much more liquid and usually require a longer baking time. Don’t worry if the dough or batter feels wet — that’s completely normal. It’s also important to let your bake cool for 2–3 hours after coming out of the oven, as high-fibre flours continue to absorb moisture while cooling. Cutting or serving too early can make the inside feel wet.

Instructions

  1.  VISUAL GUIDE ⬇️

  2. In a small bowl, mix the sweetener, roughly ground walnuts, and ground instant coffee. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and sweetener.
  4. Add CoreBake and mix with a spatula until well combined.
  5. Continue working the dough gently with your hands until smooth.
  6. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
  7. Return one portion to the bowl and knead in ¾ of the walnut– coffee-sweetener mixture until evenly incorporated.
  8. Carefully roll all three portions into ropes about 25 cm long and 2.5–3 cm thick. The dough will be quite soft — softer than play dough — but still workable with gentle handling.
  9. Braid the three ropes together and place on a lined baking tray.
  10. Brush with egg wash, then sprinkle with the remaining coffee–walnut–sweetener mixture.
  11. Let the braid rest while preheating the oven to 175 °C.
  12. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden and set.
  13. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

TIP

Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days, or slice and freeze for an easy treat whenever you need it.
