Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3 tablespoons warm water

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 small bowl, combine chia seeds and warm water. Stir and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes, creating a 'chia egg'.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, almond milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared chia egg. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once baked, allow the lemon bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
