Directions for Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients till well combined.
  3. Then mix in the wet ingredients. Set aside for a moment to allow batter to thicken. 
  4. Place chocolate bar in freezer bag. Break up bar using meat pounder or rubber mallet. 
  5. Fold chocolate chunks into batter.
  6. Spray a 4 x 8 loaf pan (glass) with coconut oil. Pour batter into pan and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. It doesn't help to test the bread to see if it's done because only chocolate comes out onto the knife or toothpick. 
  7. Cool then pour glaze on top swaying the spoon. 
Directions for Glaze
  1. Soften cream cheese in microwave for about 45 seconds. 
  2. Using a handheld mixer, on low speed mix all the ingredients together. 
  3. If it's to thick add a teaspoon of milk at a time till consistency is a little runny. 
  4. There will be leftovers. Great to use on pancakes! :-D
*Puree flaxseed in a magic bullet till pureed to powder form.
*Notes - The slice could always be split in half to reduce the sugar count. However it taste so good, it would be difficult to give up the other half. ;-)

Enjoy!
