Ms. Samantha who presented me with the recipe made the bread with 1 Tbsp of agave to keep the bread very low on the GI scale, and she like it just fine. I thought I would make it with the 2 tablespoons just to see what the stats would look like with it. The bread is great. I would caution against eating the bread too soon when it comes out of the oven.  I ate a bit, and it made my throat itch, but my second little slice was cooler and it was perfect. My bread was rather flat, I need to find a smaller baking dish, and it will help give it some height. It is a dense bread, but not like a quick bread.  It is still lighter than quick breads.  There is no overwhelming coconut flavor, and it tastes great with butter.
