Critical Success Points

  • Preheat oven and grease/line the loaf pan with parchment
  • Make a smooth almond‑butter swirl topping
  • Ensure almond butter is fully incorporated into the wet batter
  • Fold dry ingredients just until combined
  • Swirl topping without over‑mixing
  • Bake until a toothpick comes out clean
  • Cool before unmolding to preserve crumb structure

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and pan with oven mitts to avoid burns
  • Melted coconut oil is hot; stir carefully to prevent splatter
  • Use a clean skewer/toothpick for swirling to avoid contaminating the batter
