Ingredients

Servings

Dry Ingredients

  • 2.75 cups almond flour blanched
  • 1/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 3 poppy seeds tablespoons (unspecified quantity
  • lemon zest of 1 medium
  • orange zest of 1 medium

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado, light
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 egg large
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract optional but adds a special flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a 8×4 medium loaf pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In medium bowl add almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, poppy seeds, zest from lemon and orange; whisk until combined and set aside.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In large bowl whisk together oil, maple syrup, eggs, lemon juice, orange juice and extracts. Pour dry ingredients into large bowl of wet ingredients, using spatula to stir.
  4. Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake 25 minutes uncovered, then add foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes. Be sure to check the bread after baking for 35 minutes total – the edges will get brown but the bread will be ready when inserted toothpick comes out with no wet batter. The middle may fall slightly upon cooling, this is okay! The bread still tastes delicious.
  5. Cool: Allow bread to cool in pan for 15 minutes before lifting from the parchment paper to remove bread. Slice into 10 good-sized slices and ENJOY!

Notes

  • GLAZE – If you'd like a glaze, you can melt a couple of tablespoons of coconut butter and drizzle over top. Or, use a regular powdered sugar glaze. Mix 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tsp lemon juice or orange juice.
