Servings 1 loaf
Ingredients
Loaf
- 1 cup 1:1 gluten free flour
- ½ cup tigernut flour or almond flour
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup plain yogurt of choice I used a vegan yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil cooled to room temp
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice room temp
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice room temp
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Beat all the wet ingredient, including the lemon zest, together in a large bowl on medium speed.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low to just combine.
- Pour batter into a parchment lined loaf pan and bake for ~40 min, until a toothpick comes out clean (the loaf may look pale or feel soft when touched, but if the toothpick comes out clean, take it out! don’t over bake!).
- Let cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before using the parchment paper to remove the loaf to finish cooling on a wire rack.
- While loaf is cooling, whisk all your glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. Once loaf is completely cool, pour glaze overtop and let set before serving.
