Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cups xylitol or erythritol
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 0.5 cups lemon juice
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the xylitol (or erythritol) and continue to beat until the sweetener is mostly dissolved.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until no lumps remain, but do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature with a spread of butter or sugar-free marmalade if desired.
