Ingredients
  

Lemon Poppyseed Loaf
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ¾ cup oat milk
  • ¼ cup coconut cream*
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, soft room temperature
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (140 g)
  • 1¼ cups flour
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • 1¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ tbsp poppyseeds
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
Lemon Glaze
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp oat milk
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice adjust to your taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  2. Whisk the chia seeds together with oat milk, coconut cream, vanilla and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Set aside to thicken.
  3. Rub the lemon zest in your fingers with the sugar to bring out the lemon flavour.
  4. Cream the soft coconut oil and sugar together. Then mix it in with the chia mixture.
  5. Combine the rest of the dry ingredients now, flour, baking soda, baking powder, poppyseeds, zest, and salt.
  6. Combine the wet and the dry mixtures together, stirring gently and only just until combined. It's important not to over-mix.
  7. Pour the batter into a loaf pan, and bake for approximately 37-40 minutes depending on your oven. When you test your loaf with a knife it should almost come out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool completely before you add the optional lemon glaze.
  9. Mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice and oat milk. Add a bit of the liquid a little bit at a time so you get your desired consistency, depending if you like a thicker or thinner glaze. Let the glaze set a bit before you cut into the loaf, otherwise it can get a bit messy.
  10. Enjoy! :)

Notes

*I've used thick coconut cream, the thickened part of a can of coconut milk, and coconut yogurt, all work for this recipe!
