Paleo Lemon Bread with Lemon Glaze
This is a tasty treat that is gluten free, corn free, grain free, paleo and mostly autoimmune friendly (except the eggs). It is high protein and blood sugar stabilizing. This recipe comes from Blissful Blog Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf.
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
zest from 2 lemons
juice from 2 lemons plus enough milk of choice (coconut, almond) to equal 1 cup
1/3 cup honey
2/3 cup coconut flour (do not substitute another flour)
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Lemon Glaze:
2 Tbsp butter or coconut oil
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp milk of choice
zest and juice from 1 lemon
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
Combine all bread ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Pour into a greased pan and bake for 32-45 minutes or until golden on top and the middle is cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool.
While the lemon loaf is baking, mix all glaze ingredients together in a small pot over low heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let sit to cool until the lemon loaf is finished cooking and cooling. Pour the glaze all over the top of the loaf. Refrigerate the loaf at least 30 minutes – 1 hour until both the glaze and the loaf firms up a bit.
Enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
