Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well integrated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a consistent batter.
Fold in the melted coconut oil until fully incorporated. If you like, stir in the optional poppy seeds for a bit of extra texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Paleo Lemon Loaf on its own or with a side of fresh berries for a refreshing and healthy delight.
