Lemon Blueberry Loaf

Ingredients:

For the Loaf:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the Lemon Glaze (optional):

  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or powdered sweetener of your choice
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:

  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.

5. Add Blueberries:

  • Gently fold in the blueberries. If youโ€™re using frozen blueberries, be careful not to overmix, as they can bleed color into the batter.

6. Pour into Loaf Pan:

  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

7. Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on it.

8. Prepare Lemon Glaze (Optional):

  • While the loaf is baking, you can prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol and 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until you have a thick glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.

9. Cool and Glaze:

  • Once the loaf is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  • If you prepared the lemon glaze, drizzle it over the cooled loaf.

10. Slice and Serve
