Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cooked quinoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Step 4

Mash in the sweet potato, almond butter, maple, flax egg (the flax and water mixture) and vanilla and mix until smooth. Then fold in the dried cherries and coconut.

Transfer mixture to the two lined loaf pans and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes until sides brown.
