Blueberry Almond Coconut Loaf

Take me straight to the recipe!

 

We’re getting ready for a trip in the camper soon–we can’t wait to wake up and hit the trails first thing with the beasts. To wit, I’m testing recipes for delicious, grab-‘n-go breakfast noms that stand up to our new food rules. Last week’s test adventure was a breakfast bread loaf based on Anna Liveing’s amazing Raspberry & Coconut Breakfast Loaf.

This yummy breakfast loaf is gluten- and dairy-free, sweetened with honey, and full of almond and coconut goodness.

We made ours using some simple changes from the original recipe.

First, organic blueberries stepped in for the raspberries. Why?

Well, we’re wanting a little magic here–and the calyx end of a blueberry makes a perfect five-pointed star. 

Second, we added two drops of lemon essential oil to the honey (instead of adding lemon zest in the dry ingredients, since we had no lemons).

Finally, we didn’t top with extra coconut & berries or drizzle with extra honey. (The loaf is sweet enough as-is–the added toppings only make it less easy to grab n’ go!)

It’s rich, sweet, nutritious, and delicious.

The recipe is adapted from Anna Liveing’s Raspberry & Coconut Breakfast Loaf from her book, Clean Eating Alice | Eat Well Every Day: Nutritious, Healthy Recipes for Life on the Go © 2017 by Alice Liveing as found on Epicurious.com
