Once your loaf has baked according to the package directions you will cut it in to 1-inch cubes. It's best to let the loaf cool slightly before trying to cut it otherwise you will smoosh your bread.

In a baking dish layer the coconut butter first, then top with your prepared bread cubes.

Melt together butter with vanilla and pour evenly over bread crumbs. Gently fold mixture together with the coconut butter to evenly coat entire batch.

Finely chop your pecans and toast together with coconut flakes until fragrant and light brown. There is something about toasting nuts that brings out their rich flavor. Whenever I'm adding nuts as a topping I always toast them to make them extra tasty. Be careful though, they brown quickly - if you aren't watching or lose track of time they can burn in an instant. I broil them in my toaster oven for about 2 minutes, checking frequently.

Top bread with toasted goodness.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy warm with a light drizzle of maple syrup. If you notice, this recipe doesn't have ANY sugar, yet it's perfectly sweet. The maple syrup sweetens everything perfectly and it's a wonderful treat for your special day.
