Frequently Asked Questions
I really want to create some fabulous new hemp heart recipes. Hemp seeds are not only tasty but very low in carbohydrate. They are also high in plant-based protein, and seriously tasty. We do use hemp hearts in our Best Keto Buns, Keto Chaffles, Chicken and Vegetable Soup, Hemp Milk, and Keto Pea and Ham Soup, just to mention a few!

I have no experience with hemp seeds but I do use a ton of hemp hearts!! Would they work here?
They are the same thing so absolutely!
Just making for the first time – canโt wait!!
Just to clarify thoughโฆ recipe says bi-carb soda but I think itโs meant to be baking soda (powder)
And is the coconut oil the liquid one or the one that goes hard if itโs cold?Hi Dea yes it is baking soda (sorry old recipe) and the coconut oil is the liquid one. I do need to do some maintenance on some of the older recipes.
Very nice i love itThanks Maria. I am so happy you enjoyed it.
Iโm curious. Iโm going to make this bread now and noticed in the recipe you said bicarbonate soda and then in your comment above you said you use baking powder. Which one is used please?
Hi Kimberly, it is baking soda used in this recipe.
Great recipe. Super easy to follow. I donโt have a bread tin so I baked it in my muffin tin and my โbunsโ turns out beautifully. Thank you so much โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธThat is so awesome Julia. I am so happy you made it your own and loved it. Thanks so much for also taking the time to leave a review.
Not a huge egg fan. Does this taste eggy at all? Thanks
Not at all Deb
Utterly awesome ๐ฅ Iโve been making hemp seed bread for around two years. This one beats my favourite to date
Suza NZcould you tell me if the hemp seeds are hulled please, we can get both in the UK???
Hi again. I have a Tm5 thermomix machine, and found whipping the eggs really frothy first, then adding the other ingredients the loaf rose quite a bit.
Love your site and this recipe is now the only loaf I bake, especially now in NZ I can legally get the hemp seeds. Keep the recipes coming. Yeah !
Suza NZ
Adore this recipe. Iโve been grain free for two years. This is the first bread Iโve really enjoyed. Yum yum yum
Suza. NZ
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Is it supposed to rise? Mine didnโt rise a all, still tastes ok tho.
ThanksNot a lot. I find Bobs Red Mill baking powder the best for breads to rise, and size of the eggs used
You say baking powder here but in previous comments you specify baking soda. Which is it? Thank you. Looking forward to trying it.
It is an old recipe and I did use baking soda. These days I would use Bobs Red Mill Baking Powder.
This is in grams do you have an imperial measurement. I think 5g is 1 teaspoon. Am I correct.
Yes it is. You should be able to flick the recipe over to imperial near the servings indicator
Hi, I’m from across the sea. I am super excited to try this bread. I am assuming that TM is short for a food processor? Thanks!
Sorry yes it is
This bread really is unbelievably tasty. I’ve been doing keto for two months now and this recipe has made it so easy. I toast some of this bread up with eggs and avocado everyday and love it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoy it Josh. It is one of my faves too.
Made your Hemp Seedy bread and hubby declared it โwithout a doubt the best bread Iโve ever tastedโ.
High praise from one fussy foodie who has not had a slice of anything remotely breadlike since starting Keto 1 Jan this year.
Many thanks Megan for making this woe more palatable. ๐๐๐
Glad it has worked so well for you
