Lemon dessert (aka Keto lemon Loaf)-
Ingredients:
For the loaf:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit or stevia)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract (optional, for more lemony flavor)
For the glaze:
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk (to thin, if needed)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (and lemon extract, if using).
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: While the loaf cools, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered erythritol with lemon juice. Add almond milk if necessary to achieve your desired glaze consistency.
- Glaze and serve: Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
