Prep Time: 15 mins
Baking Time: 40 mins
Recipe Serves: 1 small loaf

INGREDIENTS

Dry ingredients:

Oats (ground into oat flour), 1 cup

Coconut flour, 1 cup

Baking powder, 1 teaspoon

Salt, ½ teaspoon

BOTANISTRY ACTIVE CORALS, 1 tablespoon

Wet ingredients:

Ripe mangoes (de-seeded), 2 cups

Coconut milk, 2 cups

Maple syrup, ½ cup

Coconut oil, 3 tablespoons

Apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon

Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon

Dates (pitted & chopped), 10

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly spray your loaf pan or tray with oil and set aside.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

In a blender, blend all the wet ingredients together.

Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, and combine into a thick, sticky dough.

Pour the dough mixture into your loaf pan or tray. You can sprinkle a little desiccated coconut over the top.

Bake the loaf uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Check if it is fully baked by inserting a toothpick in the centre and seeing if it comes out clean.

Once ready, place the loaf on a cooling rack. Slice and enjoy with your favourite nut butter or some maple syrup!

TIPS & TRICKS

Canned mango or ripe peaches and apricots can also work for this recipe. If preferred, you can use only oats without the coconut flour and replace the coconut milk with oat milk.

Feel free to add some chopped almonds or pecans for crunch and added nutrition.

This loaf can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for a month to eat as needed.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Mangoes and dates are rich in protective antioxidants and vitamins, and their fibre content helps with gut health. Both fruits provide natural sweetness and are often used as a sugar replacement. Oats contain soluble and insoluble dietary fibre which has been linked to lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels. As a whole grain, oats help you feel satiated. Coconut flour has a lower glycemic index rating than wheat flour, and also contains more fibre and protein than wheat flour. Taken daily, the ACTIVE CORALS organic health supplement helps to support the body’s metabolism, muscle recovery and joint health.
