This recipe comes from the Moon Juice Manual by Amanda Chantal Bacon. Amanda is a friend and neighbor whom I have the pleasure to pass back and forth our delicious creations and adaptogens.
I have made this bread many times and I really do love it. It is nourishing and not too sweet. There is a hint of chocolate and an earthiness from the reishi. I have also made it with ashwagandha and epicedium. I recently took a trip to Oaxaca and made this bread as a travel snack. Every morning I would have a thick slice and it was the perfect way to start my day. I turn to this recipe again and again when I want to spike my day with a little magic.
“Give me Queen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, toasted and toped with ghee, please. It’s dense, not too sweet, and stays moist on the counter for days. I really love this one, please make her! Ashwagandha, cordyceps, epicedium, and mucuna would also work well here.” —Amanda Chantal Bacon
