Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (such as Lakanto)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt or coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 eggs or flax eggs (for vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bread.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the lemon bread at the correct temperature.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, salt, plain yogurt or coconut cream, lemon juice, eggs or flax eggs, and lemon zest until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out to fill the pan.
  5. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the lemon bread to cool completely in the loaf pan before running a knife around the sides and removing it to prevent breaking, as the bread is soft and moist.
  7. Store: You can cover the bread loosely and leave it out overnight. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or slice and freeze the bread for up to 2 months for longer storage.

Notes

  • Use the lemon zest as it significantly enhances the lemon flavor in the bread.
  • For a nut-free version, consider substituting almond flour with an alternative like the vegan lemon bread recipe.
  • Flax eggs can be used as an egg substitute for a vegan option.
  • Ensure the bread has cooled completely before removing it from the pan to maintain its shape and prevent crumbling.
  • Store the bread properly to maintain freshness and texture.
