Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (e.g., 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)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9×5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt, ensuring an even distribution of the baking powder for proper rise.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the plain yogurt (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option), lemon juice, eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan alternative), and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth batter with a consistent texture.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before removing it. This helps the bread set and makes slicing easier without crumbling.
- Store: Store any leftovers at room temperature for up to 1 day, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water per egg) and use coconut cream instead of yogurt.
- Make sure to zest the lemon before juicing it for maximum flavor.
- Use a granulated sweetener that suits your dietary preferences and desired sweetness level.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more evenly for better texture.
- Almond flour brands may vary; sift if clumpy for a smoother batter.
- Letting the bread cool fully before slicing prevents it from falling apart.
