2 1/4 cups almond flour

1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup chopped persimmons

For the Topping:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tbsp honey

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Zen Basil Seeds, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix the Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined. Gently fold in the chopped persimmons.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assemble: Spread the yogurt honey mix over the cooled persimmon bread and sprinkle with pomegranates for a festive touch.
