1/2 t virgin coconut or olive oil
Sprinkle:
1/3 unsweetened shredded coconut or flakes
in the bottom of the pan.
Spoon the mixture into the pan.
Press mixture with a spatula or back of a large spoon making it thicker around the edges & thinner in the middle.
Top with:
1/4 - 1/2 c unsweetened shredded
coconut or flakes
& press into the mixture.
Bake at 350º for 25 min.
After baking the 25 min, make 3 - 5 slits in the bread, to keep it flat.
Then continue baking 15 min. more.
Loosen the bread from the pan by going around the pan with a sharp knife between the pan & the bread.
Cut into rectangles.
Serve
or cool down & refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days
