want a new recipe for the weekend? hell ya baby! ✨LEMON POPPYSEED BREAD✨ mmm mmm good 😋 I have been eating this every day this week for a mid-morning snack. I’m truly addicted. I just love the flavor of lemon. I find it to taste so healthy and fresh! 💁🏼♀️ I also find that the almond extract takes the flavor of this bread over the top! those two flavor combined turned out to be a home run IMO 🤷🏼♀️
this is a delish option for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. it’s gluten free, dairy free, paleo and leaves you wanting more. i think every day this week i put a piece of this loaf on a plate and then was coming back into the kitchen 5 minutes later to cut off a few more bites! Will told me I needed an icing to go with it (what a great sous chef he is) so you can thank him for the extra love on this one! I hope everyone has a great, RELAXING weekend :)
WHAT YOU NEED for BREAD:
▫️2 eggs
▫️2 tbsp coconut oil
▫️1 tsp. almond extract
▫️1/2 cup pure maple syrup
▫️1 squeezed lemon + zest
▫️3/4 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
▫️2 cups almond flour
▫️1/4 cup coconut flour
▫️2 tsp baking powder
▫️2 tbsp poppy seeds
.
WHAT YOU NEED for ICING:
▫️1 can of full fat coconut milk
▫️2 tbsp. pure maple syrup
▫️3 tbsp. coconut flour
▫️1 tsp. vanilla extract
HOW TO MAKE BREAD:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a bread pan with parchment paper, or grease with oil or grass-fed butter (I find parchment paper or butter to work best).
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, almond extract, maple syrup, fresh squeezed lemon + zest, and 3/4 cup milk. In a separate small bowl, combine flours, baking soda, and poppy seeds. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well. If you notice the batter to be slightly thick, add the extra 1/4 cup of almond milk. I find the consistency can vary based on how much lemon juice you get from your lemon!
Bake for 40 minutes and let cool before slicing. ENJOY!
.
HOW TO MAKE ICING:
Remove the thick coconut cream from the can and place in a small saucepan over low heat. NOTE: Do not pour the entire can of coconut milk in the pan. You want to avoid using the remaining water in the can in order to create a creamy icing.
Add in maple syrup, flour, and vanilla and whisk together. Let simmer for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat. Drizzle of bread and ENJOY!
