Notes
Using applesauce in place of the coconut oil, the macros are:
Prot: 28g, Carbs: 7g (3g fiber, 2g sugar), Fat: 11g, Cal: 233 Ingredient Substitutions I made this bread using a bit of coconut oil to mimic the buttery texture of the original. If you want to lessen the fat, though, I would try substituting ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce for the coconut oil. I've listed those macros above. I wouldn't recommend any other ingredient substitutions. Storage Store this Easter bread in the refrigerator.
