Ingredients
Scale
For the lemon loaf:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- Zest of 1.5 organic lemons
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
For the glaze:
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- Lemon juice from zested lemons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, lemon zest, eggs, maple syrup, and avocado oil and whisk together until a smooth batter is formed.
- Pour the batter into the parchment-lined loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at the 45 minute mark.
- Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl. Whisk in lemon juice one teaspoon at a time until you get a thick icing. Once glaze consistency, add in remaining 1/2 lemon’s worth of zest.
- Once bread is completely cooled, pour the glaze over the lemon loaf. Cut it into slices and serve!
