Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Almond milk or any plant-based milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Confectioners' sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and granulated sugar until well blended.

Step 4

Add the eggs, almond milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the oil and sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing confectioners' sugar with fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Once done, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the bread to a wire rack and drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm bread.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
