Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bread tin and line it with parchment paper.
- Zest the lemons and set the zest aside.
- If the blackberries are large, cut them in half or into smaller pieces. Place them on a paper towel and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the oat flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda until just combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, toss the blackberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. Then, gently fold in the lemon zest and coated blackberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread tin and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can add a simple glaze on top if you want it to be a sweeter bread - (get the recipe here)
- Once cooled, slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Spoon and Level Flour: Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag with your measuring cup. Instead, spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. This ensures you don’t add too much flour, which can result in a dry lemon loaf.
- Check your Baking Powder and Soda Expiration Dates: Expired or old baking powder and soda can cause the lemon blackberry loaf to sink in the middle.
- Coconut Oil: You can substitute 1:1 with melted and cooled butter.
- Greek Yogurt: Substitute with an equal amount of vanilla yogurt, sour cream, or blended cottage cheese.
- Maple Syrup: You can try honey instead.
- White Whole Wheat Flour: All-purpose or whole wheat flour are good options.
- Blackberries: You can substitute with frozen blackberries or blueberries.
- Storing: Store extras at room temperature for 3 -4 days or in the fridge by covering the original loaf tin with aluminum foil or placing the loaf into an airtight container.
- Freezing: Make the loaf as directed, let it cool, then add individual slices to freezer-safe bags, and freeze them for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat them, let them defrost in the refrigerator overnight so they are ready to enjoy in the morning.
