Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Zest from 2 lemons
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
For the GLAZE:
- 1/3 cup coconut butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Hot water
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350′ F. Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Mix almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Next, whisk together eggs, coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey until well combined.
- After that, add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix until well combined.
- Spread about one-third of the batter onto the bottom of the pan. Next, sprinkle 1/3 of the blueberries on top. Then, spread another third of the batter and another third of the blueberries. Repeat this one more time with the remaining batter and berries.
- Bake for 33-37 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). You should cover the loaf with foil if the top begins to brown too much. Remove from oven and let it cool.
- While waiting for the loaf to cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together all of the glaze ingredients (except for the water). Add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Once the loaf has cooled, remove it from pan and pour glaze over the top, letting it drips down the sides.
Enjoy!!
