lemon bread sliced with glaze

Lemon bread with lemon glaze

(Made with coconut flour)

From primallyinspired.com

Makes one loaf

This is very moist bread. It is sweet enough on its own but the glaze is very good.  Use coconut flour only-at first it will seem too liquidly but coconut flour is very absorbable and the batter will thicken very quickly. 

 

 

For the loaf

Ingredients:                                                                                                                          

  • 6 pasture raised eggs
  • ¼ c. coconut oil or ghee melted
  • zest from 2 lemons
  • Juice from 2 lemons plus enough milk of choice to make one cup-juice the 2 lemons, and pour the juice in a cup measuring cup and add in enough milk until you reach one cup. Can also use lemon juice in bottle not from concentrate and use purchased lemon zest to save time.
  • 1/3 c. local honey
  • 2/3 c. coconut flour-for this recipe do not substitute a different flour-will not come out right
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • dash sea salt

Directions for the loaf:

  1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well
  3. Pour into a greased (grease with coconut oil) loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes. Should be golden on top and cooked through. If the top gets too brown towards the end of cooking time, then put some parchment over the top
  4. let cool

Lemon glaze

(Glaze is optional but it’s really good!)

Ingredients:

  • 2 T. melted ghee or coconut oil (or grass fed butter)
  • 2 T. local honey
  • 2 T. milk of choice
  • zest and juice from one lemon
  • ½ t. pure vanilla extract

Directions for the glaze

  1. While the loaf is cooking, mix all the glaze ingredients together in a small pot over low heat until it starts to simmer.
  2. remove from heat and let cool
  3. ones cooled, put in fridge to firm up
  4. once loaf is cooled and glaze is firmer, pour the glaze over the top of the loaf
  5. put in fridge for 30 minutes until the glaze and loaf firms up a bit
  6.  

Note: Milk of choice I like: A2 dairy milk (this is not organic as far as I can tell but it is a good milk option for those who have a casein sensitivity) (but for the record, I do not normally recommend non organic or non- raw milk products); natural value org. coconut milk (can), or Aroy-d coconut milk (carton).  Coconut milk brands order on amazon; A2 milk you can find at some natural grocery stores.  Some coconut milks and nut milks have many added ingredients that I would not recommend, so while they may seem like a healthier alternative, this may not be the case.  It is quite simple to make your own cashew or almond milk too!
