Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and granulated erythritol. Mix until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, to the applesauce mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until everything is well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to 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 of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your sugar-free lemon loaf cake as a healthy and delicious treat!
