Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175C (350F) and grease your loaf pan with a tiny bit of coconut oil.

- Pour the wet into the dry and mix well with a whisk or a spatula until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf pan, sprinkle on some chopped nuts, seeds, and raisins if desired and place into the oven.
- Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Take it out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before taking it out of the pan.
- Cool completely before cutting (if you have the power to wait that long).
- Store at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Notes
