Jump to Recipe

Paleo Naan is a gluten-free and paleo-friendly flatbread recipe that calls for just three ingredients! It is the perfect way to scoop up curry and it’s so easy to make! This is a great multi-purpose recipe; use it as a tortilla, wrap, crepe, etc.

3-INGREDIENT PALEO NAAN

Yes, you read that right. I think I have invented Paleo Naan and it only requires THREE ingredients. Truthfully, it was my mom who came up with this recipe but since I’m her kid, she has given me full permission to claim this genius recipe as my own. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make this into a savory tortilla type of bread OR you can use it to make a dessert crepe! The secret is in the amount of batter you use. It’s the most versatile batter EVER!

WHAT IS NAAN?

For those of you who have never eaten naan – it’s an oven-baked flat bread that you find in Indian restaurants. It’s made from white flour and baked in a tandoor oven; it comes out fluffy and soft and incredible. This batter can help you achieve that – minus the gluten. Just pour the batter onto a greased or (eco-friendly) non-stick frying pan or this steel crepe pan (it’s the best!) and cook until the batter is nice and fluffy. If you want to make a dessert crepe, use less batter to make a thinner crepe.

HOW TO USE NAAN:

Oh, how I have missed using naan to scoop up my stew and Indian curry dishes. A lot of Indian people eat with their hands. The naan is almost like a spoon in a way – it scoops up the meat and veggies and sops up the savory sauce. I grew up eating Indian bread (roti, naan, stuffed paratha, puri, bhatura) and so being able to recreate this has been an important part of my paleo journey. I miss eating food that I grew up with – and now I can eat these dishes guilt-free – with a Paleo twist.

Now keep in mind this is a Paleo recipe. If you’re used to eating naan every day, you’re obviously going to notice a huge difference. Just remember that this naan is good for you. And, it’s delicious.

3 MAGICAL INGREDIENTS

The three ingredients that make up this magical batter are: almond flour, tapioca flour and coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can and it must be full fat). If I’m making naan (or Pizza Crust or a tortilla), then I add a bit of salt. If I want this to be a dessert crepe, then I leave it as is. This batter is great because you can add whatever you want to it. Want some garlic naan? Add minced garlic. Want to throw some spices in the mix? Do it. Want to slather the naan with some incredible grass-fed ghee? Why wouldn’t you?!

In addition to making Paleo Naan, you can also make Paleo Crepes. Cook them on slightly lower heat and don’t use as much batter. Fill the crepe with something sweet (apple butter, lemon curd, chocolate chips) and take a bite of awesomeness.

WHAT ELSE CAN I MAKE WITH PALEO NAAN?

Once you start making this paleo-friendly and gluten-free flatbread, you’ll find that you can use it for so many things! I use this flatbread to make all of these recipes:

CAN’T EAT NUTS?

I have three options for you!

Try my coconut flour naan! It’s just as good as this recipe and it’s nut-free!

I also have another popular nut-free flatbread recipe on my blog for paleo roti if you’d like to give that a try.

And if you’re okay with rice flour, I have a 2-ingredient rice flour roti that’s made with just rice flour and water and so it is pretty allergy-friendly.

Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a 9.5 inch (or larger) nonstick pan or using this steel crepe pan over medium heat.
  • Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, and pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan. Spread the batter out with a spoon.
  • After 2-3 minutes, or once the batter fluffs up and looks firm/mostly cooked, flip it over to cook the other side (be patient, this takes time. If you are worried about the outside burning, just lower the heat).
  • Serve immediately or cool the bread on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.

Video

Notes

  • If the middle still seems slightly undercooked, place the flatbread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until done.
  • If the cream has solidified in your canned coconut milk, then mix well before using.
  • This naan freezes well so go on and make a big batch if you like it 🙂

    I just made these and they are pretty good! Very flavorful! I started doing the super gut protocol which does not allow wheat and grains so this just hit the spot! I think next I will cut back the salt just a smidge but other than that they are excellent. And so super easy!

    These are great! I used soy milk because that’s what I had and they still turned out perfectly. I’ve been looking for a recipe like this for a while and I’m thrilled with how easy and delicious these are. I thought at first that they weren’t going to work because even at 1/2 cup of soy milk the batter was runny. But it thickened up quickly. I ended up using 3/4 cup instead of a full cup but I will use the full cup next time and also try coconut milk.

    Great recipe-a bit tricky to cook. Flavor is so good but you really need to test your pan to make sure it’s heavy enough or the dough will stick. Have not tried using a bit of oil but imagine that would help. Also, the center can be undercooked if the pan isn’t hot enough. As suggested-make them and put them in a 350 oven to firm up.

    I’ll eat almost anything but these were revolting. I actually threw the one I cooked and the extra batter out. They were very chewy and way too salty (and I love salt so that’s saying a lot).

    Can you use just almond flour, and do you mix water with the coconut milk to make it thiner. I’m doing something wrong. When I didn’t mix water with the creamed coconut milk it stuck to the pan and didn’t form up. It’s like the heat was evaporating the coconut milk. Please advice

    Reply

    • Lola says

      Depending on what brand of coconut milk you use, the consistency can vary widely. That should have been mentioned in the recipe. And maybe a brand recommended. I’ve never made this recipe but it would change things a great deal if the milk was thinker or thinner than whatever the recipe writer used.

    Thanks Ashley! We’ve made this recipe many times (with the coconut flour version). We always have arrowroot on hand, so I make it with the arrowroot. I can’t get mine to spread out as nicely as your pictures (probably the coconut flour) but they still are easy to hold and taste good. For my taste, I cut the salt down to 1/2 tsp and add garlic/garlic powder.

    Hi! I was really looking forward to trying these flatbread, but the recipe did not work well for me. I followed everything to a tee, but it was gooey and did not thicken up. Please let me know what what I could be doing wrong.

    Reply

  14. andrea says

    I LOVE everything about these, but especially that they hold up and don’t fall apart or crumble. I did use 1/4 cup coconut flour (+ arrowroot) which absorbed all the liquid and made the mixture unpourable, BUT I added water slowly to thin it out and the naan turned out fabulous and perfect. I’ve tried so many GF bread recipes and this one is way legit. I wish I could find a less fatty option than coconut milk for the wet ingredient (LOVE coco milks, but I have a chronic illness and need to limit my fats at the moment)– any suggestions?

    THANK YOU this recipe opens up new worlds for me.

    Worked great! More like a Flatbread than a naan because I wanted to make sure they were cooked through. I added garlic powder for more flavor and they were good! 3 min per side on med-high heat. I’d like to try swapping out the almond flour for sorghum flour to see how that would taste..

    I made these for the first time today. They turned out nice – they’re just a bit sticky inside possibly because of the tapioca flour. Any tips on how to fix this? I cooked for a long time so it’s not that they’re uncooked.

    Yummm. This was so rewarding to make because it was so simple. I was able to sub an equal amount of baking soda for the arrowroot. It did take 8-10 min on each side for me. Overall the taste was delectable. Superb recipe.

      Did you really put a 1/2 cup of baking soda in this recipe? Please let me know how that tasted… I don’t want to use arrowroot or Tapioca flour but 1/2 cup of baking soda seems like it would be disgusting.

    I cannot say enough how amazing these are. I did have to use butter on the bottom of the non-stick frying pan and then put them in the oven to make sure they were cooke all the way through. But the taste was very close to the real thing and I ate the whole recipe before dinner was served!

    I’m making these naans for the first time and I noticed that my batter is super thick – not pourable like yours was in the video. I double checked the ingredients and I’m using 1/4 c coconut flour, 1/2 c tapioca, and 1 c of full fat, canned coconut milk. The coconut milk was definitely thicker and creamier than yours was. Is there a brand you recommend?

    Delicious! I made a double batch: half coconut flour, half almond. I also used 50/50 greek yoghurt and cow’s milk as it was what I had on hand. For the life of me, I could not prevent the sticking in a non stick pan, both dry and oiled. I nearly binned the mixture in frustration but then thought, hey why not cook this like fathead dough, and spread it on baking paper on a cookie sheet then baked it at 220°C (428°F) for 7 minutes per side. It came out crispy and tasted incredible! It paired wonderfully with our madras and cauliflower rice. Thank you so much for this tasty recipe!

    I haven’t had naan in 6+ years since going gluten free and vegan, and this was very reminiscent of the “real” stuff. I added about 5 cloves of garlic to the batter along with a teaspoon of Miyoko’s vegan cream cheese (since naan recipes normally contain yogurt I wanted that same sour effect) and it was great! Could have eaten the whole batch myself.

    My husband and I are on a low-carb, grain/dairy/sugar/alcohol version of Whole 30 right now. These naan were perfect. I am always gluten and dairy-free, but everyone in the family liked these. I think next time I will make a double batch and freeze some for a quick lunch treat. I cooked mine in a well-seasoned cast iron pan (noting the comment about sticking) and they turned out beautifully. I’m going to make them again later this week with “butter” chicken.

    These were so easy and sort of taste like naan. It’s been so long since I’ve actually eaten naan made with wheat that I probably don’t even remember what they taste like. I made a pot of yellow pigeon pea and red lentil soup with carrots and good hot madras curry, and the almond flour naan were perfect with it. My nonstick frying pan turned out to be not so great,, so I sprayed the pan lightly with canola oil and that worked. Thank you! I will try the coconut flour ones next.

    I have enjoyed trying this recipe. I am curious though, does your naan often have a sticky center? I cooked the naan on each side for the allotted time and they still are a tad “gummy” / “sticky” inside. Just curious if this is normal or if there is something I can do to prevent this?

    I just need to thank you for this recipe. I found out recently that I’m allergic to wheat, oat, yeast, eggs, and other things. So, virtually all bread is out and I’m a Latina, we need that stuff, like tortillas! So, I tried this and I need a bit more practice. It is delicious and I’m so excited that I can whip this up rather quickly! Thank you so much!

    I made this for the first time about a month ago with your Paleo Butter Chicken. I did one batch with the 1tsp salt as suggested and we found it way too salty, so I adjusted the 2nd batch (that I made for “leftover butter chicken” night) and reduced the salt and it was just perfect. Even the salty version turned out well though. It was easy and quick and delicious. Mine did not turn out as thick, but that is probably a difference in ingredient brands than anything else. I told my daughter (7) that she could pick our dinner for the weekend and she asked for “that chicken with the yummy naan bread”, so I came back to make sure I had all the ingredients for both and figured I would leave a comment of how much this was enjoyed. Ready for Saturday night already!!

    Easy enough to make, but the recipe calls for WAY TOO MUCH SALT. The end result was naan pancakes that tasted like overly salted popcorn.

    Maybe a 1/8 tsp of salt would be better, or even just a pinch.

    I modified this a bit by adding some yeast but I don’t think it would be any less tasty or have that much of a different consistency if I had followed the recipe 100%. Easily the best bread I’ve ever had. Thank you!

    So. So. Good. Thank you for this unbelievably simple and satisfying recipe! These were delicious beyond my wildest imaginings. I made them for my family – two teens and my partner and myself – and everyone agreed they were incredible. The first night I made just enough for one for each person (plus an initial “bad pancake” version) and they were gone before I could blink. So the next night I doubled the recipe and brought them out to the family one at a time while I was heating up the rest of our food. They just couldn’t stop eating them! I’m gluten-free and thought I would never have naan (or a naan-like food) again. Mine weren’t as thick as yours look in the pics, mine were closer to your crepes, but they look the part perfectly with their spots of browning, are addictively delicious and have a wonderful chewy texture, and went perfectly with my Indian feast!

    super awesome! I needed a quick naan recipe while making indian food tonight and this fit the bill perfectly! So much better than waiting 5 hours for yeast to rise! cooked great! I put it in the oven at 400 degrees after making just to keep warm and brown a little and it puffed up like pita bread! so good! Now we can have Naan again without do crazy stuff to make it. love it!

    I loved this. I was amazed. I spent 6 hours making a gluten free naan with yogurt and 4+ flours, rising, heating up a pan in my grill and getting covered in sticky dough. These were so easy to make while I was cooking the rest of dinner, like a pancake, and worked so well as a wrap for dinner. We preferred them crispy versus softer, though that makes them less pliable for wrapping. I will make some more tomorrow!

    What did I do wrong?? How do I fix it? Apparently everyone loves this amazing recipe but my batter was super runny and I only got a very thin crepe like bread which would be fine if I wasn’t making it for Indian food. Also it took me 30 minutes just to cook 2!!! On the pan! I couldn’t regulate the heat and it only ever was a floppy gooey mess on the inside. I followed instructions exactly. Unless by full fat you actually mean coconut cream cuz I used full fat milk.

    Wow!!!!!!! Just found this recipe and had to make it immediately. Love it! Didn’t have all the right ingredients on hand so I substituted arrowroot and also almond milk for coconut milk – started with 1/2 cup – didn’t add anymore. It was fairly runny so might be better to start with 1/3 cup if using almond milk.

    I found this recipe a few days ago and am already on my third time making it! Have to say, my husband and I love it! The second and third time I adjusted the recipe to use a whole can of coconut milk (poured the coconut milk in a measuring cup and scaled the other ingredients accordingly). The batter was a little thinner, but it still worked out quite well. We have enjoyed this as a standalone and on the side of several meals from breakfast (great vehicle for scrambled eggs) to dinner. Tonight’s experiment is to make a Paleo “pizza” type dish. Made some pizza sauce and will put some toppings on it and stick it under the broiler. Here’s hoping it’s just as tasty as the naan is all on it’s own! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Someone please tell me where I’m going wrong. Reading all of these comments about your incredivle experiences make me feel like I’m in the twilight zone.
    I used 1/2 cup of Bob’s Red Mill almond flour, 1/2 cup of Bob’s Red Mill tapioca starch, and 1 cup of very well shakened canned Kroger’s coconut milk.

    The consistency looked like pancake batter, but after I poured it into my well oiled cast iron skillet and watched it bubble up beautifully and then tried to flip it, it was completely stuck. The whole bottom. I couldn’t even get a grip on the edge with my spatula.

    I just thought I didn’t have enough oil so I scraped as much of the sticky goo from my pan and tried again with a LOT of coconut oil.

    It happened again. This time blaming my pan, I swapped my cast iron for a stainless steel pan (I don’t own any Teflon that isn’t ruined) just to watch the same thing happen again.

    Where am I going wrong? Are you all using ceramic or Teflon pans? What can I do to fix this? I was so excited to try this recipe. I have a pretty serious wheat allergy that I developed as a teenager and haven’t tasted naan since then. I really want to make this work.

    I just tried this for the first time. The flavor was GREAT!! So happy to find a paleo “bread” that really does taste good. But my batter definitely won’t “pour”. It is very thick. I did my best to spread it around in the pan, but it was still pretty thick and took a long time to cook. I used Anthony’s cassava flour.

    Trying to understand the diff btwn naan and chapati. Naan is made with leavening so it gets thick, like a flatbread often does; chapati is unleavened, like a tortilla? How is this distinction made possible by using almond flour in one and flaxseed in the other? Neither are going to rise.
    Does the starch in the one act bready?

    Hi Ashley,

    Since my grandmother was recently diagnosed with diabetes, I am researching low carb Indian food. But you know Indian moms and grandmas, they’re very set in their ways and not very open to “new” ingredients. I am wondering if she’d even be open to the tapioca flour. Do you think there’s another low (er) carb substitute that might work?

    Also, since she won’t stop eating her chapatis heh, I am trying to get her to make a lower carb atta mix. So far, I’ve convinced her to mix besan (chickpea flour) into her wholewheat atta. But I am looking for more ideas for making her rotis lower carb. If you have any other ideas for flours that could be mixed and which wouldn’t taste much different from a regular roti, I’d love to know.

    Thanks!

Please keep me posted if you find something she likes!

    The link to your coconut flour naan from this site is not working. I tried it on my own, but I’m not sure if that is what coconut naan break is supposed to be like since the middle was a bit gooey. I’d love to see your recipe if possible.

    I tried this recipe last night and unfortunately it was an epic fail. It had a strange consistency- very gooey in spite of being totally cooked through. It cooked it on both sides a long time until it was very golden brown. But I think gooey texture was inevitable due to the Tapioca flour. I was so grossed out by the outcome of this, I had to toss it and eat my accompanied curry potatoes by itself.

Due to gluten and additive intolerance, I haven’t had a grilled cheese in years, until today. I added garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning to the batter and fried it. I flipped it frequently to prevent burning. Once it was done, I added a slice of provolone, sliced tomato, and mayo and fried it again to create a grilled cheese. Thank you soooooo much for this recipe!!! I’m pretty much in heaven right now. I made an extra one to see how it tastes leftover.

    Made my first batch tonight! When you have been bread free for 2 weeks, it is neat to watch them flock to the table. I ate 3 of them!

    I did not have full fat coconut milk and used arrowroot starch/flour and almond flour (Bob Mills ) mixed in with 1 cup of coconut milk. They were super runny. I put them in the oven to dry them out a bit. I ended up having to add 1/4 cup extra of flour of both flours to thicken the batter up. The 2nd batch I also used 1/2 the amount of milk. They were still thin. I never got them to puff up. Trial and error. I am not fond of coconut flavor so it looks like we will try almond milk or cashew milk. I was hoping for a savory flavor so I added garlic to one batch.

Definitely a recipe to use again. Thank you.

    A+ in every respect! Used Red Mill Tapioca Flour, Red Mill Almond Flour and Geisha Coconut Milk with a dash of salt. Not gummy or gooey at all!
    This recipe is definitely a KEEPER!!!
    Thank you so much, I’m hooked!!!

    No… Sorry but no. Maybe I’m the only honest person here but this recipe sucks, even by gluten free paleo standards. I’ve followed it 3 times, each time I’m left with a crispy Sherri and soft liquid like middle. Tried different temps different brands, even tried to make it at someone else’s house to have them verify I was following properly.

    You can’t make a naan substitute with 3 ingredients. Certainly not these three.

    And you always blame the cooks when you’re recipe fails. It’s NOT them, its the recipe.

    Into the trash the recipe goes, with all the awful naan.

    • My Heart Beets says

      Hey Jason. Sorry you didn’t like the recipe! You should know though that the middle should definitely not be liquid-like. If you do make these again, try putting the soft flatbread in the oven – it will help the bread crisp up.

      (Also, I removed your 5/5 rating since you obviously didn’t mean to give this naan a 5-star rating…)

    I use this recipe often, but I cook it in my waffle iron. It takes awhile to cook, but I get crispy, chewy yummy bread to dip into my soup! And it holds the butter very well. I usually add garlic and onion powders to the mix.

    Just made this for dinner – I can’t believe how much I didn’t even miss real naan! WOW!!!! These were sooooooo good! We usually make cauliflower rice with indian food but my husband suggested only making (extra) naan from now on and ditch the rice! I made 4 small naans and added some salt and garlic powder to the mix also. YOU ARE A GENIUS!

    Tapioca flour is 100% cabs. It is totally against the definition of Paloe diet. Please avoid teaching people wrongly. You will be totally responsible for their gullible following of your wrong advices. And u say sugar ! Do u have any idea of what is Paloe diet ??

    OMG OMG amazingly yummy. If this is coming from an Indian who lioved rotis / Naans in previous birth (before going gluten free) it has to be good!! My daughter who loves regular naan loved this so much that she ate 1 of the 4 that I made. Thank you so much Ash for coming up with this recipe AND sharing it with us. I will try it with hazelnut milk when I buy it next.

    How long do you let each naan cook? I have left it cooking for over 10 mins on low-med heat in my cast iron griddle but the outside is nice and toasty but the inside of the naan is still raw. I have lowered the heat to almost simmer and letting it cook for even longer but i cant get the inside to cook properly! My naan isnt even thick! It looks thinner than your pictured naan! Please help!

    I was so happy to find your recipe! I changed to a Gluten Free diet a while ago and had been avoiding making Indian as I didn’t want to have it without Naan bread. So I was very excited to find your recipe and it was amazing! It took me about 3 naans to perfect the cooking, the best advise in your method was “it takes some time”, as if I flipped it too quickly it wasn’t cooked in the centre and was a sticky texture, but following your directions and being patient made for the yummiest Naan and I loved the crisp edges. Can’t wait to try this recipe for other things too. Thank you!

      Hi Sara, I haven’t tried this recipe with raw milk so I’m not sure if it’ll work with that – I suggest trying the recipe as it is written first before experimenting so you’re familiar with what the texture/thickness of the batter is supposed to look like. That way you can adjust the amount of liquid accordingly.

    The batter makes a gluggy dough that does not cook and sticks to the pan. This is literally the single worst recipe I have ever cooked from.

      Hi Jeremy, first of all that’s not true – I do post reviews that are below 5 stars as long as the review is substantive and not just name calling. Given that my recipe has worked for many it sounds like user error, so if you’d like to provide me with more details maybe i can help you troubleshoot. That said, I have no room for trolls in my life, so if you’re going to continue to be rude – then I can’t help you. Also, I’ve removed your rating since you for some reason did give me 5 stars.

    Delicious and so easy and quick to make! Especially with ghee – I’ve been missing this for so long. :). Random question – the naans come out a little oily (and I’m not adding any fat) – it doesn’t taste oily, but it feels a little greasy. Just curious, is this b/c of the almond flour? I love this, so i wouldn’t change anything – I was just wondering. Thanks again for giving us these amazing recipes!

    Oh.my.goodness. I just made a 1/4 batch to test this out, planning to eat it tomorrow night. Well, it’s almost gone so I’ll have to make more tomorrow, but a full batch for sure. It’s so heavenly. I added a few shakes of Penzey’s Fox Point seasoning (alllll the alliums) to the batter and fried it in avocado oil in a cast iron pan. The outside is suuuuuuuuper crispy while the inside has a nice chew. It actually reminds me a lot of a scallion pancake, which I miss so much too.

    My husband and I just started the whole30 program. Even though we have eliminated sugary stuff – cutting back on roti or naan is very difficult. I am glad that we’ve come across this great recipe. Today I made daikon, collard vegetable in garlic base and we enjoyed that with this paleo naan. It turn out great – just that cooking time is lot more than the traditional roti but no complains.
    One minor issue re: the carb content. The Red Mill tapioca flour consists of very high carb (104 gms for 7 naan shared by 2 people). Any suggestions of alternative brands or alternative flour? I know we are probably asking too much here but thought let me post it anyways. May be next time – we are thinking of changing the proportion to 1:4 between tapioca to Almond flour hoping that the naan will be held in one piece. But if anyone tried this before feel free to reply.

    Thanks again for this great recipe and idea exchanges.

    Made these tonight with arrowroot instead of tapioca. Fried in a little bit of oil in a preheated well seasoned cast iron skillet. They were gooey, but put on a baking sheet in 400 degree oven, flipping over after first side browned. They will only crisp up on the side touching the pan while in the oven, and seemed to cook the middle as well.. They were alright dipped in dal. I look forward to trying with tapioca, and also as dessert! Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes, too.

    Hi:

    I need some guidance and input please…..I made this and LOVE the taste, but here’s what happened when I made it. I bought Trader Joe’s Almond Meal (says it was almond flour), so that’s what I used. I don’t have a non-stick pan to cook on stove with, so I put a little olive oil in my skillet and turned to medium heat and poured batter into skillet in round portions. It came out a gummy mess, stuck to bottom of my pan even with the oil, so I found a non-stick pizza pan, put a little olive oil on it and poured the rest of the batter on it and baked it at 350 degrees for about 30 mins (that’s how long it took to cook)….. is having finely ground almond flour instead of almond meal and using non-stick skillet with no oils on bottom the key to success? I really want to make this often, but I bombed it first try and I consider myself a good cook. I am a newbie to cooking with almond flour though. Also, what type non-stick, non-toxic skillet is a good one to buy?

    Thank you in advance for your help ???

    Another comment doesn’t seem to be necessary but I wanted to add my thanks to you for posting this. I used almond flour and then took someone’s suggestion for 1/4C arrowroot and 1/4C potato starch instead of the tapioca. Blended the coconut milk til it was smooth and also sieved the almond flour. I used my old cast iron griddle with the thinnest film of coconut oil which wasn’t even necessary. It is delicious! No gumminess noted, just a nice soft and crispy bite.

    The first one was with homemade nutella, the next was nutella and a banana slice, the next was cashew butter and apricot preserves and the last was cinnamon and sugar and butter. All really good.

    Someone mentioned keeping this in the fridge. I think that’s a great idea and a perfect use for an empty ketchup bottle, just squeeze out what you need. Thanks again!

    I started making these after stumbling across your site about 6 months ago, and I am so delighted to say that they have become a stable part of my arsenal- I’ve been making double batches to keep in the fridge for the week so I can spoon one into a skillet whenever- to hold breakfast veggies, leftovers from last night, as a side for dinner stir frys (stir fries? Whatever it is, it’s delicious scooped up in these babies), with cinnamon and fruit as pancakes, as a wrap wrapper… You know. I love how gooey/crispy/perfect it is. I’ve been gluten-free for about 8 years and gave up on gf bread shortly after because it tends to be such a sad replacement. I am so happy to have a yummy alternative. Thanks so much!

    These were heavenly! I had been wanting to try these for quite some time, and finally got around to it today. Once I started making them, I couldn’t get enough! Sooooo good. I ran out of almond flour, so I did half almond flour and half brown rice flour. I cooked them in a cast iron pan with a little butter (well, Earth Balance, actually), at a low heat for awhile, so they would cook through to the middle without burning. Worked like a charm. I can’t wait to try them as empanadas. I saved the last bit of batter from this batch to try out as a turnover. I only had clementines in the house, so that’s what I cooked down for the filling. It won’t be the same as apple, but I don’t care – I have a feeling they are going to rock, regardless!

      Hi Jessica, you can use a spatula to help you make the naan rounder or maybe try first pouring the batter while the pan is on low heat, then increase it to higher heat. You can bake the naan after you cook them on a pan to make them more crisp but I’m not sure about pouring the batter into a pan and then baking… if you try, let us know!

    I just popped in, happy new year all, to say arthritis here so use my pressies, an electric whisk or hand stick blender. I find it looks a bit curdled although it isn’t at all and these mix everything for me so I don’t miss out. Makes lovely smooth batters and when I want them to go a bit further I add a little water IE for a thinner base here.
    I love the thick one and often spread hummus or beet spread, but have a big salad on the thin one and they all make a meal.

    I love this recipe and the resulting bread! I chose to substitute the almond meal with corn meal due to the cost of almonds this year. I used a very finely ground, white, organic corn meal and maybe an extra tablespoon of liquid to the batter. It is quite good. I’m sure it is not as smooth as it would be with the almond flour, but I like the texture. It rather reminds me of the texture of cream of wheat.

    I can see me making this almost daily, whether I have stew or curry to spoon up with it or not! Thank you so much for inventing this and sharing it so freely with all of us!

    OK, So I wrote you two comments last night on the peach and prosciutto pizza recipe. I did more research on your blog and found this recipe and your FAQ blog and video on making this naan. So I tried to make that pizza crust a 3rd time. This time I made 3 crusts instead of the one big one (I have terrible frying pan flipping skills) and it turned out great! I baked them on a pizza stone and they were nice and crispy around the edges and a little (not too much) soft in the middle. THANK YOU for this recipe. I recently decided to go grain free and kinda paleo. I have been DYING for some kind of bread in my life to keep my from jumping overboard the sanity ship. I’m not vegan but I can’t stand all of the constant meat recipes I see on so many paleo meal plans and blogs. I’m a meat-less…er, less-meat paleo eater I guess. I’m trying your tahini freezer fudge right now and will be sure to let you know what I think once it is frozen.

    There is a definite coconut flavor here. So, I cannot see making a pizza dough with it. Anything sweet will come out very nice but savory…..not the best, not the worst. But the carbs are sky high for those who care.

    I was struck by the strong taste of coconut at first but what a perfect texture. They grew on me quickly, perfect to wrap around chicken. Awesome recipe! I want to try them with homemade thick cashew-macademia nut milk as that is the closest I have found in taste to full fat cow’s milk. Either way, I will make these again.

    Thank you so much for this wonderful, adaptable, easy recipe. I passed it to my mom who tried to just put the dough as large pancakes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in the oven at 425 for 15 minutes (or 18 if you like it crispy) and it works great too!

      • Mariam says

        Straight onto the sheet! Then, depending on how long you leave it in the oven it will come soft and foldable (more like pita bread) or slightly more rigid and crispy on the borders. Delicious either way! She came up with this method because I didn’t have a non-stick pan for the stove.

    Thank you for your lovely recipe 🙂

    We’ve tried the recipe twice, and closely followed the method, and also used the same brands of ingredients (I’ve checked the comments section) but it is too soft inside (sticky) on the inside. On the 1st time, we cooked it over medium heat, but it was sticky on the inside. The 2nd time, I turned the heat down low and cooked it for 30 mins, but it was still sticky.

    Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

    Reply

    • My Heart Beets says

      Amy, it definitely shouldn’t take 30 minutes. To speed up the cooking process, try putting the flatbreads it in the oven – bake them at 350 for 10 minutes or until cooked through inside. That should definitely help! Please let me know how this turns out for you!

    Made these today and my parents ( mom is celiac, dad and I are diabetic/gluten intolerant) raved about them. It was a little gooey, but the taste is fantastic. I need something to eat some leftover gyro meat and chicken schwarma. I then made some cream cheese/vanilla/brown sugar splenda mix and topped with sliced strawberries. We are in heaven! Started dreaming of all the things we can use these for.

    Made these last night as a pita bread replacement to have with hummus. They were so yummy! I love how easy they are! I didn’t have any full fat coconut milk, but the light stuff from Trader Joes worked well. They were a bit sticky, but I figured out that I just needed to cook them longer. I made them on my electric griddle so I could make 6 small ones at one time. I think I may toss them in the oven for a while to finish the cooking process next time.

    Off to have leftovers with a bit of cream cheese and blueberry compote for breakfast! 🙂

    For some time now, our food co-op has had only low-fat coconut milk available, so I’ve tried making this naan with it, and it has worked fabulously. Can you explain gently why we should use only the full-fat kind, please? I have made it several times already (I seem to keep eating it up! It works so well for how I like to eat) and am experimenting with other flours, spices, flavors, and such. Thank you!

    Just made these to use as pizza crusts. I didn’t have any coconut milk, so I improvised. I cannot guarantee exact amounts as I did not measure everytime. I used approximately 3/4 cup tapioca flour, 3/4 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup almond milk, 4 tsp melted coconut oil, and 1 tsp. coconut flour.
    They were delicious!! The middle was goo-ey with crunchy sides. They were a little too oily, so I did have to wipe down the pan with a paper towel between each naan attempt. The middle was a little too goo-ey for pizza crusts, as I don’t think I left them in the oven long enough.
    Just starting following you and will definitely be attempting more recipes in the future 🙂

    this recipe is pure genius! I’ve been cooking and baking for many, many years, and I can usually figure out a pretty reasonable facsimile of what a written recipe will taste like once I read it — but this had me stumped! even though most paleo breads I’ve eaten (till now) have been uniformly awful, I *had* to try this recipe out of curiosity. I am SO GLAD I did; it’s delicious! I figured even if it wasn’t very good, I’d slather it with grassfed butter and all would be okay — well, I. FORGOT. TO. BUTTER. IT! and I didn’t even notice! nor did my housemates; it was that delicious. thank you so much! I’m about to go grab another half piece to butter. I wouldn’t do that with *any* other paleo bread recipe.

    This recipe was pretty good, but I found the flavor to be too coconutty. My son, who is not a fan of coconut, tried a bite and said that he would eat it if I could cover up the coconut taste. I added a pressed clove of garlic, which really improved the taste but still wasn’t enough to fully mask the coconut smell. Having said that, I really enjoyed eating a wrap (after years) using this recipe. My filling was buffalo chicken, birds eye chillies, cilantro and red onion. It tasted great and held up really well!

    Here are some recommendations:
    1. Make sure your pan is really hot before you begin. Pour the batter and then turn down the heat.
    2. Press two cloves of garlic into the batter
    3. Use only 3/4 cup coconut milk. An entire cup made the batter too thin.

    Thank you for a great recipe that we will definitely be using often!

    I’m sure you get asked about substitutions a lot, but… I couldn’t find much about flax meal in the comments! I’m trying to eat a very low-carb, ketogenic diet. Looking at the tapioca flour, it has 26 grams of carbs per 1/4 cup, which is way too much for me. Is it possible to substitute finely ground flax meal for the tapioca? I imagine it would be a nuttier tasting naan, but I’m okay with that. I could also add a little baking powder for rise (I do this for one minute mug muffins). I also don’t mind adding an egg, if necessary. What do you think?

    Reply

    • Chanda says

      I decided to go ahead and just try it with the flax meal. And I didn’t have any full-fat coconut milk, so I used what I had on hand, which was Silk Almond Coconut milk, unsweetened. I also added a teaspoon of baking powder to help the dough puff a bit.

      It held together well. It looked like naan, albeit a bit darker due to the flax meal, and not quite as puffy-bubbly. It was a bit gooey in the middle, even though the outsides were well-cooked, but I fixed that easily by putting it into the microwave for a minute. I think that would help any gooeyness with the regular recipe that I saw other people commenting about.

      So, the taste? Ehhh… You better really like flax meal. I didn’t add any salt to the dough, so I slathered it in butter and sprinkled some salt on top. It might have been good if I had been eating it dipped into a curry sauce, but I’ll be honest; I don’t think I’ll make it that way, again. I think I’d prefer to bite the carb bullet and go with the tapioca flour. Is it really a lot closer in flavor to regular naan?

      Otherwise, I might try getting some of Bob’s Red Mill low carb bread mix and doing it that way. It’s not paleo, but at least it would be low carb enough.

    Anyone considering making this NEEDS to give it a try. I live in China and only had quick access to sweet potato starch and whole almonds in my pantry. I was so eager to give it a shot that I literally busted out my pestle and mortar to make the closest thing I could to almond flour. Because I wasn’t using tapioca, I needed a binder, so I used one egg yolk beat into my measuring cup and topped it off with coconut milk until it hit one cup. On the side of some green curry meatballs, this was perfect, even with the grainy texture of the almond. No eggy taste. I’ve ordered some almond and tapioca flour and can’t wait to give your original recipe a shot!! Thanks for the innovative recipe!

    my girlfriend is celiac (and allergic to white rice flour) so we’ve tried so many different bread recipes for her but i must say that this was not only the easiest, but probably the best. this recipe has single handedly changed the way i can cook for her now.

    since i’m a bit anal, i figure i would share some details on how i prep it in case anyone is having issues.

    – i use bob’s red mill tapioca flour (which is the same as tapioca starch).
    – i use trader joe’s almond meal (it not as fine as almond flour)
    – i made this twice with 2 different cans of coconut milk from my super market. both were spanish companies (one was iberia and i forgot the other one but definitely a no-name smaller brand) and both were on sale for .99 cents

    i have an electric stove so i put the setting to between 4 and 5 (my stove goes from lo-2-3-……-8-9-hi).

    before mixing the coconut milk with the dry ingredients, i mixed up the milk with a fork to make sure the pulp and liquid are all combined. i mixed the batter and poured in a 1/4 cup to a non stick pan (with no butter or oil) just like ashley says to do.

    first time i made it, the stove was on setting 4 and it took about 4 mins on the first side and 3 mins on the second. it was a bit light on the crisp factor and color but was still cooked through. the second time i made it, i increased the heat to 5 and it gave me the nice crisp bread with darker marks and tasted even better – almost like a chapati. this took about 3 mins on the first side and then 2 mins on the second. but like ashley said, all stoves are different so this will require some experimentation.

    the first time i made it, the batter was not runny but not thick either. the second time, the batter was slightly thicker. when i cooked them both times, while cooking the first side, the top was still moist but solid when i flipped them. nothing was running off.

    the amounts in the recipe made about four 6-7 inch slices.

    some thoughts – again, this is a tremendous recipe. since i used almond meal and not finer almond flour, the color of the bread was a bit more greyish in color. i suspect a finer almond flour will give it a more yellowish/brown color. but the taste was still great.

    if you let it sit for a little bit, it will get soggy/limp. i just popped it back in my toaster oven (on a low toast setting) and it crisped it right back up. i was eating these things plain and they were still great. the texture and stretchiness mimicking real naan bread still blows my mind.

    i used this for an empanda like the other recipe on this site and my girlfriend liked them…alot. (i made my own filling so i can’t comment on ashley’s recipe). i mean this really opens up an entire world of stuff – i can’t say enough how blown away i am with this recipe. i’m already planning some apple pie pockets, pizza pockets and a calzone.

    good luck everyone in their attempts but for me, this is a thumbs up 5 star recipe b/c of not only how easy it is to make it, but the taste and texture.

    thanks ashley.

    I think this recipe is absolutely wonderful! So simple, easy and delicious! I made them for the first time tonight and followed the recipe exactly. My only concern though is that they seemed a bit gummy. They seemed dry and cooked in the pan and were browning in spots, but after they sat on a plate for a couple minutes they seemed to go a bit soggy.

      Hi Janet, I would suggest reading through this Paleo Naan FAQ post that I’ve put together to better help you troubleshoot. If you’re having trouble with getting the middle cooked through, you can always put them in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F but if you do that, they’ll become slightly crisp. As for storing, you can freeze them in between sheets of parchment paper and then just re-heat them on a pan or in the oven.

      Hi Linda! I’m glad to hear you like the bread. Depending on your pan/stove, it can definitely take longer to cook through. As long as it isn’t “gooey” inside, it should be fine. You can also finish it in the oven if you’re worried it’s still not cooked through – see my Paleo Naan FAQ 🙂

Secondly, I am so very grateful to have stumbled upon traditional Indian cooking that is Paleo friendly.

    Hi Ashley! I’m looking for a paleo, egg-free pumpkin pancake recipe. I’ve only found ones with egg or a million odd ingredients or which turned out to be a disaster. I absolutely love your super-simple, 3-ingredient naan – use it all the time for everything from pizza to tacos to apple turnovers 🙂

    So I was hoping that you – in your genius – could recommend a way to incorporate pumpkin into this naan base or to suggest something similar. I’d like it if it incorporated a good proportion of pumpkin, but beggars can’t be choosers eh?

    Thanks for your marvelous, unique recipes!
    Greetings from The Netherlands!

    Help – Ashley – I SO want this to work, but like some others, mine turned out oily and doughy in the middle, even though they look perfect on the outside. I will try some of the suggestions here, but any suggestions are welcome! I am using Bob’s tapioca flour, honeyville almond flour and full-fat coconut milk from whole foods on a 91/2 inch heavy nonstick pan (ceramic). I have them in the oven now to see if I can make them edible.

    Wow. Made these, but used an entire can of coconut milk (13.8 oz. approx., a little over 1.5 cups), so I added an extra half portion of the flours, plus a tablespoon of coconut flour because it was still a little runny. It cooked up and looks, smells and tastes like the real thing. Grass-fed butter put it over the top. Thank you!

    wow…so many comments! Ashley, this nan recipe it’s got to be good! I plan to make it this weekend to go along with your chicken (subbing it with paneer) butter recipe. I will follow your nan recipe o the dot, all I want to know is, approx. how many nan will I get, I know is about size and thickness…but any idea? I’ll making diner for 4 but we are all big eaters! Thanks!

      Awesome! If you make small naans (1/4 cup batter each), you can get 5-6 out of the batter. If there are 4 of you, I’d probably double the recipe. I hope that helps 🙂 Let me know how it all turns out!

    We love this paleo naan. For me the trick is you need to let it cook for quite awhile before you flip it. It takes some practice but once I figured it out it’s been an amazing addition to our meals. We had crepes last Sunday using this recipe. And the weekend before that we used it to make empanadas. This week I used it to make pizza. It’s been a hit with my hubby and friends. Thanks so much Ashley. For this half Venezuela half Pakistani couple this is truly a Godsend! it’s hard giving up some of the foods we eat as part of the culture, so having this paleo naan as an option is amazing. We love many of your recipes. Please keep them coming. It keeps both of us connected to our cultures yet allows us to eat and live a paleo lifestyle. Wahoowa!

    My boyfriend and I just made this along with your butter chicken recipe. You weren’t kidding about it being restaurant quality! When I saw how creamy and rich the sauce for the chicken was, I thought there was no way I was going to be able to fully enjoy it without a generous helping of basmati rice to pour it over. This naan was the perfect chewy companion to sop it all up though. We’re absolutely stuffed and and will definitely be making this again! Thanks for your foolproof directions!

    According to researchers very few people are actually allergic to gluten. For those few though this is a good website. That one guy above who is on Atkins diet and thinks this is great, it may taste great but not ever qualify for the Atkins diet, as this has a zillion carbs. I make this with tapioca flour and love it!

    Saw this on FB yesterday and proceeded to stall dinner just to make these! Even though my first attempt was mediocre at best, there was not a crumb left!

    I mistakenly bought THAI Kitchen Lite coconut milk but went ahead anyhow. They were very runny and I had trouble regulating the right heat with my cast iron pan… I tried different oils, and two different sized pans… they still came out sticky in the middle but so incredibly DELICIOUS! My tapioca flour is from the Bulk Barn, so I will try another brand with full fat cocomilk later. I had to keep reheating them to keep them crispy. I think these would make great tortilla substitues as well. I will keep trying 🙂

    Thanks for the recipe and all the comments. Got a ton of great tips from above.

    THANK YOU so much for this awesome Naan recipe! I made it last night to accompany the Butter Chicken (also AMAZING) and everyone loved it all! Both recipes will be going into the regular rotation to be made again and again and again! My naan was little chewy and stretchy at first, but I made it about an hour before dinner, so I crisped it up in the toaster oven just before serving and it was PERFECT!

      Good idea – as I am by myself have frozen the left overs (hopefully this experiment will work, but not an expensive disaster if it doesn’t!). Have missed my naan soooooo much (one can buy it gluten free off the shelf in UK) hate the hassle of breadmaking so this made my day as I had all the ingredients to hand. Also a lover of Indian, Mexican, Italian – well everything really, so am thrilled that my life down here in Godzone has becaome a little bit better now I have found your site as celiacs are not well catered for as opposed to UK. But also am lucky to have a Fijiian-Indian store round the corner which has every sort of bulk bin flour one could imagine. And oh! – the aroma of the spices.

    I’ve made these a few times now so wanted to post a quick tip I learned the hard way. I used a different brand of coconut milk from last time and these came out really thin and runny. The brand I used was Goya and although it said “milk” it was more like “water.” Normally I use the Asian canned milk and they turn out great. Normally these are awesome and give us the fix we need to get thru clean living. I’ve also used them as pizza crusts! Just cooked them a little longer to make it extra crispy and then throw on homemade pizza sauce and toppings. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

      Good to know about the milk, and what Lesa said as well. I made them for the first time this evening and used a different brand of coconut milk than normal (I usually use the Thai Kitchen or 365) and they were running and doughy. I will work on these two suggestions for the next time. They still had a good flavor, I just know the hubs won’t eat them doughy. Thanks for all the tips everyone!

    Unfortunately these did not turn out magical for me 🙁 They kept turning out thin, still wet and doughy inside, so I tried on low heat for a longer time with less batter (using a 8.5 inch bottom measurement pan) on even lower heat for a longer time and they still didn’t work,not fluffing up at all. They tasted ok and I suppose they held together, just had a really awful and unappetizing texture! Might try with a different brand of tapioca flour, but the results with bob’s were so discouraging I’m not really sure if another kind would make a difference.

    • My Heart Beets says

      Hi K, I’m surprised to hear that Bob’s Red Mill didn’t work out for you. If it’s still gooey in the middle, just throw the bread in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Doing so will get the edges crispy – it’ll be good! Let me know if you try this and how it turns out for you.

    I just made this for the first time – yum! So exciting cause I’ve really missed bread. I didn’t have tapioca flour so used 1/4 cup each of potato starch and arrowroot flour. Also I added an egg to help hold it together. The egg and coconut milk totalled 1 cup. Worked great!! Thanks so much 😀

    I found this recipe during my Whole 30 and have been dying to try this since I finished- made it last night with the Paleo Butter Chicken and it was delicious!! I added minced garlic to mine and although it took about 20 min for one big naan, was totally worth the wait. Even better microwaved today with leftovers! Definitely need to try the samosas and empanadas next 🙂 Only complaint is that the edges were a bit burnt/crispy but the middle was great- probably due to my pan being too big! Still delish, and the non-paleo boyfriend agrees 🙂 What other filling ideas do you guys have??

  380. Sharon Oz says

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve made this a couple of times to make samosas and then experimented and made spring rolls with it too! Oven baked them and love them. This time I actually had some batter left with no fillings left, so I thought ‘I’ll try it as the naan bread’. I honestly don’t remember what naan tastes like (too many years since I was diagnosed with CD), although I remember I loved it with curries! I used it as a wrap with paleo crumbed chicken strip, lettuce, tomato, onion and topped with paleo hummus (made with roasted cauliflower). You (and your mother) are awesome!! LOL now making another batch to go with the curry I’m now planning for tonight’s dinner!

    Thank you so much for sharing. I tried this out with coconut flour (because we didn’t have any almond flour and I REALLY wanted some). Here’s what worked for me.

    ⅓ c tapioca flour (38 g)
    ⅓ c coconut flour (38 g)
    ¼ t salt
    1 c full fat coconut milk
    1 egg, warmed to room temp
    4 t coconut oil

    I was going for thick tortillas rather than naan, so I used 3 T batter for each one and spread it out to a 6-in circle. These proportions made 8 tortillas.

    I had to turn the temp. down from medium to medium low, because they were getting a little too brown and crisp before they cooked through, but once I did that, they were FABULOUS. Even my hubby–who usually prefers to skip the bread rather than eat my grain-free experiments–said it was a winner!

    These crashed me majorly – like an IV of sugar! Caveat emptor, if you’re hypoglycemic – tapioca and arrowroot starches are 100% carb – no fat no protein… 26g carb per 1/4 c and 28g carb per 1/4 c, respectively. Personally can’t hack it. Would love suggestions for a truly low carb alternative. Coconut flour was a fail.

    What did I do wrong, TWICE?! I mixed 1/2 c almond flour, 1/2 c tapioca flour & 1 c coconut milk. Heated 8″ pan with coconut oil & put a thin layer batter in. I waited & waited (first time @ 3-4 mins & second time @ – both times got a glue glib that I couldn’t get a spatula under to flip. This was a huge expensive naan FAIL! 🙁

    Reply

    • My Heart Beets says

      Emily, it could be that the naan was too thick and not cooking properly. I suggested using a 9.5 inch pan in the recipe so your 8inch may be too small. You can try a larger pan and pouring smaller amounts of batter and see if that works for you. I’m also not sure what type of pan you are using – I use eco-friendly nonstick.

    These are amazing! LOVE them! I too have craved naan bread. They are delicious, super-easy and very filling/satisfying, yet they don’t make you feel heavy inside like most bread does- instead you feel good! Will no doubt be a staple of my diet.
    HOWEVER mine are not turning like they should – they do not rise and, while crispy on the outside, they are completely flat, plus doughy/uncooked -like on the inside. Any suggestions to make them rise? (I tried adding baking soda – DON’T try it – it tastes awful and doesn’t work.) I’ve made them 4 times – trying low heat, yet they are completely flat. My batter is very thick and I have to spread it – is this normal? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Reply

    • My Heart Beets says

      Jeanie, maybe you can try lowering the heat once the outside becomes crispy – that way you can cook it for a longer period of time and allow the middle of the bread to cook all the way through. Every stove is different so cooking times vary. I hope this helps!

    Love, love, your recipes! I made these but they keep coming out doughy. I’ve cook them for almost 4-5 minutes on first side & 3-4 minutes on second side and they are crunchy on the outside & doughy on the inside. My non-stick pan is no longer non-stick so it’s a caphlon pan that is as heavy as a cast iron pan. I’ve been using coconut oil so they don’t stick. I use Honeywell almond flour, very finely ground, & bob’s mill tapioca flour. Should I be using Bob’s mill almond flour or is it something else I’m doing wrong?

      I found out tonight why it was coming out doughy! I was using a skillet that measured 7″ across the bottom & 9″ across the top. I changed to a 9″ skillet across the bottom & only lightly greased the pan with coconut oil while it was cold. It made a hug difference…the bread came out dark golden brown, flakey in the areas that puffed up & chewy, not doughy, in the other places. I also had to cook each side about 12 minutes, the skillet is a very heavy duty one, on our gas stove top. I ate the first one all by myself…it was so good! I shared the second one with my husband! Thank you! 🙂

    I doubled the ingredients, but used a good sized dallop (1/2 cup?) of sour cream in place of the coconut milk, and then thinned it with water to be a pancake batter consistency. I added some salt. I baked it in the oven at 400 in a 9×13 pan (first I melted some butter in the hot pan before adding the batter). Then I just cut it in slices. My husband and kids LOVED it!! My oldest was calling it ‘manna’. LOL!

    Hi Ashley,
    Just wanted to let you know that I tried your recipe replacing the tapioca flour with chickpea/garbanzo flour and it worked! Texture was a little different (more breakable, less foldable) but still completely usable as a naan. I LOVE the original recipe – however I had my Mulligatawny all ready for Meatless Monday when I realized I had no tapioca flour left – crisis! Especially considering how much my husband loves your naan recipe 🙂 Thanks!

    THANK YOU thank you thank you. This is fabulous and the best bread experience I’ve had since going paleo.

    If you’re cruising these comments and wondering if it’s worth the trouble of getting tapioca flour, the answer is YES. And make a quadruple batch. Not kidding.

    omg, these are delicious and so easy. i was wondering if there are any ways to up the nutritional value/reduce the carbs – i can’t have too much tapioca flour (which is so essential to giving that wonderful stretch). any ideas?

    I just wanted to say thank you! This recipe is soooo good and simple. It was a runaway hit at breakfast this morning. It’s opened up a whole lot of food possibilities for my family who are definitely missing tortillas and bread on our paleo adventure! Grain free has helped our bodies feel so much better but I still want to make my guys happy. This simple recipe is a great help! Thanks again. I love your site.

    I also tried the Naan bread recipe with fajitas tonight. I thought it turned out well and tasted great. It was gummy though, and that made me worry that it was under cooked, even though I cooked it for a long time. I would like to make this over and over. Can someone tell me if it should be a bit gummy inside? Is it the tapioca? Thanks.

    Reply

    • My Heart Beets says

      Hi Dino! It should be chewy but not gummy/undercooked. I’d suggest lowering the heat and cooking it for a longer period of time – it’s pretty hard to overcook the naan when using low heat. Also, make sure you’re using a 9.5 inch pan – if the batter is too thick it will take longer to cook. I hope this helps!

    Hello! I was just wondering – if I wanted to fill the naan, do you have any suggestions as to the process? I love a good peshwari naan and am unsure how to insert a filling in while cooking this.

    Perhaps it’d be better off just going on top, to make the process less complicated!

    Made these last night as tortillas for tacos. They were delicious. I used regular coconut milk, not canned and made them a little thinner. The only issue I had was keeping them warm. Put on a cookies sheet in the oven on warm and they got a bit soggy. Maybe ajust right on the rack would be better. Will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe.

    JUST found your website, and tried these. They were kind of awesome.. But gummy at the same time, are they suppose to be like that or were we not cooking them enough? The flavor was great, but texture was definitely not fluffy. Thanks

      Hi Briita! They shouldn’t be gummy – just try cooking on lower heat for a longer period of time. It’s hard to overcook the naan on low heat – so this should work for you. Let me know how it turns out!

    Just made this with coconut flour instead of almond flour and you’ll need to double or triple the liquid. I only had a cup of coconut milk (I make my own) so I just added water until the batter was about the consistency of pancake batter. This might be a little too thin though as the results are turning out crispier than naan.

    Is there anything that can take the place of any starch. I cannot have any starch, period at all. So, I have been trying to figure out what could take it’s place. Egg protein or Egg whites?

    These are INCREDIBLE!!! These do not taste like a Paleo hack. They taste like an original recipe.
    I made them to go with Tikka Masala instead of rice, because we are on a 21 Day Sugar Detox, and my whole family was blown away.
    We plan to use them as tortillas for tacos, to hold pulled pork, to slather with Nutella for an occasional treat, and the list goes on.

    I have one left that I have claimed for some chicken salad for lunch tomorrow.

    Thanks!! This is a game-changer for my family, and we have tried sooooo many things before. 🙂

    I thought that these were REALLY good. I made a double batch to go with chicken tikka masala and some veggie saag. The one thing I did notice was that they are on the doughy side. I tried cooking them on low for longer and it didn’t seem to help. I loved how easy they were to make and they will surely make awesome crepes! They definitely held together for eating curries.

    I would love to try them with roasted garlic and or Parmesan as another reviewer said. Thank you for this.

    I made these to go along with the amazing crock pot curry chicken. However, I substituted the almond flour with coconut flour (only because I was out of almond). They weren’t bad but a bit to oily and more like a crepe. I can’t wait to try this again with the almond flour!

      I have made this recipe a few times. I have had success with arrowroot and tapioca flours but do not substitute with pretty much anything else. This is the “glue” that holds the recipe together.
      I have used the canned coconut milk and it is the ONLY liquid I have had work. The thinner coconut/almond/rice milks that are made for drinking/cereal (in a carton) do not have the fat content to make this work.
      I also track my calories on MyFitnessPal and this is the nutritional info that it came up with:

      Servings 4
      Calories: 188
      Protein: 4g
      Fat: 18
      Carbs: 6

      I have been trying to create a lower cal version of this but this original recipe is always SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you for this recipe. I love it and use it all the time. And who doesn’t love a “mix and pour” bread recipes?!?!

            You could also try ground, raw sunflower seeds. My son is allergic to peanuts, and before we were cleared to eat almonds, we used “sun-flour” as an almond flour sub all the time. It does work best in recipes where there is a longer bake time, so low & slow with this recipe might be better (or a quick sear & then bake?) Just a thought, but for all those with nut allergies, just wanted to suggest sunflower (allergies are so hard!!)

    1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
    1 cup coconut milk
    7 eggs

    mix with a mixer well.

    oven at 425.

    large round pan with 1/3 cup coconut oil.

    put pan in oven to melt oil and get hot, then pour in the mixture and cook for 25 min .

    We call it the Big Pancake..kids love it, eat it with cinnamon/bananas on top, or jam, syrup, what ever you prefer…I prefer banana and cinnamon.

    Reply

    • My Heart Beets says

      Hi there! Hmm, if she is allergic to coconut then you clearly can’t use coconut milk. The thing is that the canned coconut milk is very thick and so replacing it with almond milk or regular milk won’t give you the same consistency. I think it can be done but you would need to adjust the proportions – try adding a little milk at a time until you have a pancake-like batter. As for using butter as a replacement – I have no idea. If you try, please report back!

        if you can eat dairy, maybe try cultured buttermilk, it would have have a similar consistency to coconut milk, and is often used in pancakes etc, gives a nice flavour and lightness.

          Do you have any Asian markets in your area? They are known to carry tapioca flour, sweet potato flour, etc and usually way cheaper than health food stores! That is where I had to buy these flours when I lived in Germany. (P.S.-waiting on my daughter to wake so I can try the recipe with the arrowroot, she sleeps on my lap. I haven’t forgotten!) ^_^

        • Rawria says

          Ok, I tried it with the arrowroot flour and it works, but is slightly gummier than with tapioca. Also, the batter was runnier than with tapioca, so the naan is thinner, more like crepes or tortillas. They are still flexible and sturdy, and tasted the same. I added some peppermint extract and carob powder to half the batch and made mint chocolate crepes 😉

            Were you happy with the final product subbing arrowroot for tapioca?? Searching for a tortilla alternative for my five year old son. Tapioca, rice flour….all of those subs in gluten free baking actually spike his blood sugar higher than standard wheat/white flour :(. I made tortillas from almond flour, arrowroot, water and salt and they tasted great but they were not flexible enough to fold. Maybe the coconut milk will make the difference!

I know the almond flour and coconut milk are lower carb. I made these as is and my parents raved about them. So, I would love to make these even lower in carbs because I can see my dad trying to use them for everything.

              Wow, I didn’t know there were so many people searching for a gluten free low carb bread-like substance! I gobble down white flour okay, but have used MANY different starches as thickeners etc. I seem to have a bit of an obsession with this food group. Anyway, I thought I’d throw out a few suggestions, mostly from the world of Asian cooking. Have any of you tried lotus root flour/ starch, water chestnut starch, mung bean starch, sweet potato flour? I have NO idea of the carb levels, presence of gluten etc, just trying to throw out various starch / flour suggestions I am aware of. Has anyone used nagaimo flour (it’s a tuber from japan which is used to make okonomiyaki – I found a bag of nagaimo flour in a large mostly Korean oriented Asian food store)? Has anyone used konjac(glucomannan) flour? How about sago (palm) flour / starch? Do not use sabundana as sago flour, because it is actually made from manoic(cassava) roots, which makes it tapioca (!). Any one used taro flour (imagine purple naan!)?

              As you can see, there are multiple flours / starches out there that have not been mentioned here… there are there are besan(chickpea flour), several other legume “flours” from India, rice flour, sorghum, millet, and teff flours, mesquite flour, chestnut(tree) flour, cattail starch and pollen “flour”, acorn “flour” etc etc etc…. This naan recipe sounds killer and very easy; surely some of these exotic starches / flours can be successfully combined to make a flat”bread” using this basic recipe! I am severely debilitated at present or I would go into my kitchen and try some of these different “flours” in the recipe – I would love to hear of any other starch mixtures that have been tried in this recipe!

    Giiirl. These look INCREDIBLE! I love that you blended in tapioca flour with almond flour, and thus didn’t need eggs. No eggy taste, yay! Can’t wait to try this! 🙂

      I made this naan last night and it was awesome! My daughter enjoyed it, it was her first time eating something bread-like instead of meat, veggies, or fruit. The recipe is so easy and quick, very important for a busy mom with a clingy baby. I was able to make this with one hand while holding my baby with the other, that’s how easy it was! This opens up a world of opportunities for meal ideas, thank you so much for sharing the recipe! We can’t have dairy so we brushed it with more coconut oil and it was just perfect! ^_^

            I just made this recipe, but substituted the almond flour with 3 parts coconut flour and 1 part tapioca flour (I doubled the recipe so the final mix was 3/4 cup each coconut and tapioca flour and 2 cups of coconut milk). Since the coconut flour is more absorbent than most other flours, I should have used maybe 1/2 cup coconut flour to create a thinner, less sticky batter. Once I was able to wrangle the mixture into a naan-like shape, the final product was quite good and was fairly pliable, but did not hold together quite as well as naan typically does. I’m excited to continue to perfect this, and I can’t wait to try it with a desert!

            Thanks for posting 🙂

      Hi Jeanette,
      Coconut flour is kind of the opposite to tapioca, it can go quite dry and crumbly and usually requires a lot of extra eggs. Tapioca holds recipes together while keeping them soft and pliable. I would love to know if you had a successful turnout! 🙂 x

            Made these tonight and they turned out great. I used Bob’s All Purpose Flour instead of the arrowroot flour, but used Arrowroot to roll them and found I needed a bit more flour than recommended so they were not as sticky. Any idea how to make these with garlic? Since going GF because of allergies, this is one of the big things I miss 🙁

        Just to verify, have you tried almonds before? They’re not nuts:

        The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed (which is not a true nut) inside…

          Comforting to know you can read wikipedia. An almond is still a tree nut. It might not be the same as a peanut, and may not cause the same reaction as a peanut. But it is still necessary to avoid as the potential is still there for a reaction, especially if someone is predisposed to a cross reaction (ground nuts vs tree nuts). Having said that if they are only allergic to peanuts they can be assessed for other allergies by a professional. Safer to just sub.

                  My husband is reversing the effects of his autoimmune disorder with diet (no medications)… just saying to those who seem to be resistant to the idea. Fact: :If he eats gluten the arthritis in his hand and psoriasis flares up, when he avoids it, the pain goes away. I fully agree that we can reverse and prevent certain aliments by the way we eat. Does this guarantee you will not get cancer. No! I don’t think anyone is making that claim But eating well isn’t going to hurt, either way. I don’t know why people are so resistant to this idea, and get aggressive the moment someone suggests it. I look forward to trying this recipe out! Looks good and easy!

                  We certainly shouldn’t blame people for having allergies, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t reversible/curable. The idea of being allergic to a host of different, entirely healthy foods was unheard of not that long ago. There is definitely a cause that is not natural and it is possible to reverse the damage. However, it is certainly difficult and just knowing this does not guarantee success.

                  I would suggest anyone who rejects the idea that allergies, you know, have an actual, preventable cause and are not a natural event, try looking up the vaccine-allergy connection. I’m not going to start spouting conspiracy theories. There’s no need of that. But vaccines are medications, just like pain pills, and they have side effects like every other medication out there. All known side effects are listed on the insert, like with every other medication.

                  Also worth mentioning is that not every allergy is what it seems. Sometimes, you aren’t reacting because there’s something wrong with the food, but because you have a leaky gut and undigested food is passing through and damaging your body. Heal the gut and suddenly you can eat the foods that used to make you suffer. Or, it might not be the food itself, but the pesticides on it (I read in a book about an actual case of a boy who had a lot of food allergies who thought he was allergic to strawberries, but it turned out he could eat them if they were organic).

                  Just a few things to think about. Scientists still don’t understand everything, and in fact never will. (Among themselves, they readily admit that it’s all just hypotheses that are constantly being proven wrong later by other scientists … like how the “science was settled” on tobacco being healthy years ago. So much for that theory.)

          It may be a drupe, but it is classified as a tree nut, and if someone is allergic, they cannot have it. It absolutely can cause the same reaction as a peanut allergy.

            Peanuts are NOT a tree nut, nor are they classified as one they are legume and a completely separate allergy from tree nut allergy. I have 5 kids with food allergies. My kids are allergic to peas & lentils & must avoid peanuts because they are part of the same family – this is directly from our allergist. Being allergic to peanuts does not mean you are allergic to nuts, more likely you would be allergic to something from the same family – which are legumes. Here is a very informative site that our allergist directed us to for extra info – I already navigated to the peanut issue, now stop spreading misinformation: http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/peanut-allergy

          Almonds are absolutely nuts. Peanuts are ground nuts. All other nuts are tree nuts. And all tree nuts fit into your description, Ryan, as a drupe – A nut is a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed…which still makes it a nut. Someone who is allergic to tree nuts cannot just experiment with other tree nuts, unless they’ve been given the “all clear” from their allergist. Additionally, if someone is allergic to peanuts, they are not necessarily allergic to tree nuts, and vice versa. Regardless, it is not something to be taken lightly. If someone is allergic to any type of nut, eating something that has nuts in can mean life or death for them. Speaking from personal experience. Grateful to see Ashley has now developed a nut-free recipe as an alternative to this one!

          It depends whether you want to keep it gluten free. Oat flour is not gluten free. Despite “uncomtaminated oats” being considered gluten free due to not being contaminated by the wheat grain, they, like quinoa, contain a protein similar to gluten which, in some Coeliacs and gluten intolerants, can cause the same reaction that gluten does due to the protein similarity. If you’re a Coeliac, you’ve had it before and you don’t react, I’m sure it’s ok (Check with your doctor and dietician first!), though keep in mind, not every exposure causes symptoms but can still do damage and you probably wouldn’t want to serve it to your Coeliac friends unless you know how they react to it too. But if you’re just doing it coz you like the recipe then hey, who am I to judge, and in which case I’d have no idea.

            There are also those who are non-celiac gluten sensative. They react to the same things, but their reaction in not in the gut. It causes internal inflammation, pain, joint, stiffness, etc. I know because I am such a person. I had my DNA checked to be certain.

          I frequently substitute oat flour for almond flour – cup for cup – in many recipes. If you’re asking about oat flour I assume you already know all of the issues with gluten and other proteins and this is not an issue for you. I fully intended to try this recipe with oat flour – and based on my experience with other recipes I think the answer is yes. 🙂

        Another fruit not commonly thought of as a ‘fruit’ are almonds. ALMONDS ARE NOT NUTS! In fact, an almond is the seed of the fruit of the almond tree! Called a drupe, a drupe is a fruit that has an outer fleshy part surrounding a shell that contains a seed. You might also be surprised that other drupes include fruits from the walnut tree and the coconut tree. So if you are being told that almonds are nuts, that is completely wrong.

          I had a similar issue to Preeti when I made the naan. The outside/edges cooked well but the inside was very sticky/chewy. I bought a small amount of tapioca flour from a store that sells everything in bulk bins-so unfortunately I don’t know what brand it was.

I’ve got them in the oven now to see if that will change things, but I’m not sure what I did wrong… I used Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour and Tapioca Flour and Chaokoh coconut milk. Hmm.

I have used whole fat coconut milk and 40% and I get the same results and I’ve tried 3 different brands of coconut milk. Crispy on the outside and almost “gummy” on the inside. I’ve attempted this on 4 separate occasions with no luck. Could this be simply because of Bob’s Red Mill?

                  Most people don’t realize that almond meal and almond flour are two different things. Almond meal will be more coarse and not as flour like as most recipes call for. Almond flour is a lot finer and acts more like a (gluten free) flour should. I believe using an almond flour that uses “blanched” almonds also plays a part. You might want to look for an almond “flour” that uses “blanched” almonds.

      Did you know that you can make CRACKERS with this recipe!!! I haven’t had a cracker in 6 months and I’m so excited. If you pour the batter on a baking pan and leave it in the oven until it gets crispy, it turns into these incredible, crunchy, buttery crackers. Next time I’m going to try greasing the pan, pulling them out a little early to cut them into squares so they’re easy to break and adding some rosemary and sea salt.

    Hello Ashley

    I tried leaving a comment using my phone yesterday, but I can not see it here. Please pardon me if this is a duplicate.

    I am struggling with the amount of time the cooking takes (I am so accustomed to roti being a few seconds a side…) as well as the fact that my whole batch seemed to stick even with oil in the pan. Given that my pan is not completely non-stick and the fact that I used cow’s milk instead of coconut milk… My naans are not round…

    1. Should I try to use coconut milk next time?
    2. Can these be baked instead?
    3. Is it advisable to use baking paper in the pan to prevent stickiness?

    Thank you,
    Jessica

    Awesome. I am able to grate coconuts so use fresh strained coconut mixed with water (coconut milk). I also use sorghum (jowar). It turned out very well. The bread is pliable. I usually grate the coconuts, keep it in the freezer. When I am ready to use, I mix it with hot water, squeeze the milk.

    I live in the South Pacific and using coconuts to fight Non-communicable disease is important. With few ingredients, it is a keeper. I will be using this recipe regularly. Fresh and yummy
