The entire batter comes together in a blender or food processor in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Loaf Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

The parchment will make it much easier to lift the finished loaf from the pan.

Step 2: Add the Ingredients to a Blender

Place the drained and rinsed cooked lima beans into a high-speed blender or food processor.

Add the four eggs and baking powder.

Step 3: Blend Until Completely Smooth

Blend the ingredients for approximately 1–2 minutes.

Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to make sure all the beans are incorporated.

Continue blending until the batter looks very smooth and creamy with no large pieces of lima bean remaining.

Step 4: Fill the Loaf Pan

Pour the smooth batter into your prepared loaf pan.

Use a spatula to gently smooth the surface into an even layer.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

Transfer the loaf pan to the preheated oven.

Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center feels firm and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.

The exact baking time can vary slightly depending on your oven and loaf pan.

Step 6: Cool in the Pan

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 10–15 minutes.

This gives the freshly baked loaf a little time to set before you remove it.

Step 7: Cool Completely

Carefully lift or turn the loaf out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack.

Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

This step is particularly important for a bean-based loaf because cooling allows the interior texture to fully set and helps you achieve cleaner slices.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

Once completely cooled, cut the loaf into 8–10 slices.

Enjoy as-is or toast individual slices before adding your favorite toppings.
