Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 cup Dates, pitted
• 0.25 cup Water, hot
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal.

Step 2

In a small bowl, cover the pitted dates with hot water and let them soak for about 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure it's evenly mixed.

Step 4

Drain the dates and add them to a food processor along with the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the date mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until just incorporated. If using, gently fold in the poppy seeds.

Step 6

Transfer 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

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Enjoy a slice with a hot cup of tea or as a delightful breakfast treat!
