This recipe is so easy to make and will take you no longer than an hour. You can enjoy these loaf slices as the perfect, healthy and gluten-free substitute to traditional bread.

Makes:
1 loaf (approximately 10 slices depending on desired thickness)
Level of Difficulty:
Easy Peasey – include the kids
Total Prep/Cook Time:
50 minutes
Only 3 Magical Ingredients
- 3 cups of Coconut Magic organic desiccated coconut
- 300gm flesh of a roasted purple sweet potato, also known as kumera (roast approx. 2 large sweet
potatoes in some coconut oil in the oven until the skin begins to peel and the potatoes soften –
about 30 minutes – then cut the potatoes in half, scoop the flesh out of the skin and allow the flesh
to cool)
- 3 tbsp Macadamia nut butter (either buy from the health food store or make it yourself by pulsing
macadamias in a high-speed blender until a paste consistency is formed)
What to do:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Grease a deep, rectangular loaf tin with some coconut oil
3. Place all three ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend at high speed until smooth
4. Scoop the mixture into the pre-prepared tin, ensuring to press it down firmly so no air pockets form
in the loaf
5. Bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes at 180°C or until you pierce a blunt knife into the centre and it
comes out clean
6. Allow the loaf to sit for about 10 – 15 minutes before removing it from the tin
7. Allow the bread to cool before cutting it into slices
- Note: the bread will be a little more crumbly than your regular breads, so take care when slicing
- Best consumed on the same day as making it
Enjoy :)
