The latest addition to my Fall kitchen is this Healthyish Persimmon Bread. My neighbor has a persimmon tree in his garden and he was picking the last of the fruit when I passed last week. He kindly offered a bag of these unusual fruits and I was delighted to accept them! Before they got too ripe, I decided to make this healthy loaf and it really worked.
To make this loaf, I started by melting coconut oil. Then I beat eggs and sugar together and added the oil. I gradually beat in the flour and greek yogurt before folding in the persimmon gently. 45-50 minutes in the oven and a delicious healthyish loaf emerged.

In a medium sized bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.

Gently fold in the grated persimmons using a spatula.
