What goes into the recipe
don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for full ingredients and method
- desiccated coconut- really adds to the texture of this bread
- blueberries- are the perfect way to add sweetness to this recipe- if you don't have fresh ones, you can use frozen, but they will bleeed more in the bread whilst cooking

Expert Tips and FAQs
To freeze it, slice it up first and then place the slices on a tray in the freezer until frozen. Then they won't stick together and will be easy to grab for lunches!
