- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or a pinch of stevia for a sugar-free option)
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or ghee
- 1½ cups (350ml) water
Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir well.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and water. Pour this into the dry mixture and stir until fully combined. The dough should be thick and sticky. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon or two of water.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the loaf pan on the middle rack and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 5: Remove & Continue Baking

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. This step is crucial to prevent it from crumbling.
