Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk these dry ingredients until they are well mixed and free of clumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the lemon loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Once cooled, slice the loaf and serve it as a delicious paleo-friendly treat. Enjoy!
