Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups xylitol or erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the xylitol (or erythritol) and continue to beat until the sweetener is mostly dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until no lumps remain, but do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a spread of butter or sugar-free marmalade if desired.
