Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer whisk eggs, oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 min until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from pan. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once loaf is cool, make glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl.
- Top loaf with lemon glaze and serve!
Notes
- flaxseed eggs
- Flour: If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour instead. I haven't tested this lemon loaf with a gluten-free flour, but you should be able to swap the whole wheat pastry flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Eggs: I haven't tested this loaf with an egg substitute, but using flaxseed eggs might work. The loaf might not rise as much or might have a different texture. Let me know if you try it in the comments below!
- Oil: If you don't have avocado oil, you can substitute any neutral oil such as vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil or melted coconut oil. You could also use melted butter if that's what you have on hand.
- Greek Yogurt: For a dairy-free option, you can use a non-dairy yogurt instead of the Greek yogurt.
