Lemon Poppyseed Bread
This zesty loaf is a vegan, healthy and lighter spin on the classic we love and can be devoured in just 50 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 flax eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar monk fruit, brown or cane
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups cassava flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
Lemon Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tbsp cashew milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grab a 9×5 loaf pan. Spray the pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk together all the wet ingredients – including the sugar.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not over mix!
- Scoop the batter into your prepared baking dish – using a spatula if necessary to create an even layer.
- Bake the bread for 45 minutes or until a toothpick can poke the bread and come out clean.
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the pan and letting it cool completely (patience peeps) on a cool wrack.
- While the bread is cooling – make the glaze! Whisk everything together in a small bowl and once the bread is cool, pour that sugary sweetness all over the loaf.
- Slice into however many pieces makes your heart happy and enjoy within 2 days or 5 days being refrigerated.
