    sliced paleo lemon blueberry bread

    For someone who doesnโ€™t usually bake a lot,ย  Iโ€™ve been on quite the baking spree lately! I think I'm just really getting better at picking no-fuss, low effort, and high reward baking recipes that just WORK. Have you tried my Almond Flour Scones or my Coconut Macaroons? I would totally put them in that category.

    Today I'm coming at you with another easy paleo springtime dessert that even the non-bakers out there will gladly whip up. Paleo Blueberry Lemon Bread, you guys!

    Spring always makes me crave all things lemon and this time around I felt like pairing my favorite citrus fruit with some fresh blueberries. Let me tell you, this sweet loaf is blueberry bliss, just perfect for curbing those afternoon cravings.

    Itโ€™s light and moist, perfectly sweet and with just the right amount of blueberries.ย ย Itโ€™s loaded with protein-rich almond flour, nutrient-dense eggs, and good-for-you coconut oil. To get the perfect texture, I also add some arrowroot powder to my batter. I LOVE baking with arrowroot and just sang my praise in this post about baking with arrowroot.ย But hey, you can also use tapioca starch if that's what you're having.

    You could probably add a paleo coconut milk or a sweet lemon glaze if you felt like it. For me, the bread was perfect as is so I skipped the glaze part but I added a simple paleo glaze for you in the tips section.

    This recipe would be especially perfect for upcoming springtime gatherings like Motherโ€™s Day! Especially if you're catering to grain-free guests.

    How to make Paleo Lemon Blueberry Bread:

    Prep:ย Preheat your oven to 350F/176C degrees. Grease a standard loaf pan (approx. 9-inch x 5 inches).

    Step 1 & 2 -ย  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.

    Step 3 -ย In another large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice,ย and zest.

    Step 4 & 5ย -ย Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir to combine.

    Step 6 & 7 -ย Once all flour is incorporated, fold in blueberries gently.

    Step 8 - Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan.

    Step 9 -ย Bake the bread for 55-60 minutes or until itโ€™s golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the bread and cover with foil if it starts to become too brown. Let it cool for at least 20-25 minutes before removing from the pan and cutting into slices.

    A fancy way to serve this paleo bread:

    Turn this into a fancy dessert, by slicing the whole loaf and grilling the slices on both sides in aย  griddle pan until nice and brown and crisp. Use a brushing of coconut oil, if you want.

    Then, serve the slices topped with dairy-free coconut yogurt, coconut whip, or vanilla Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup or manuka honey, and maybe some nuts and berries. Or nut butter? You can go pretty crazy here.

    Tips and Variations:

    • You would totally get away with using raspberries instead of blueberries.
    • Your coconut oil should be liquid so if you're living in a cold climate, pop it into the microwave for 5 seconds and stir.
    • Make sure to take your eggs out of the fridge about 1 h before baking. Alternatively, place them in a bowl with lukewarm water for about 15 minutes.
    • By all means, zest that lemon before you juice it. It's kind of a no-brainer, but I often forget and then things get messy.
    • If you want to add a simple paleo lemon glaze, stir together ⅓ cup softened coconut butter, 2 tbsp each of coconut oil lemon juice and maple syrup.ย Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a glossy, liquidy, smooth consistency. Once the loaf has cooled, pour glaze over top of the loaf, letting it drip down the sides.
    • Make sure to let this cool down quite a bit to allow for clean slices. A warm loaf does not cut prettily and will crumble.
    • Store the bread covered at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it. For freezing, I recommend wrapping individual slices in plastic wrap. Then, just thaw in the fridge overnight, pop it in the toaster, or grill it on a pan.

      I made this yesterday and oh my goodness, the flavor is amazing! One quick question though: How many grams is one serving in your nutrient breakdown? Seems like one would have to cut a rather thick slice ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Marie

        May 04, 2020 at 5:41 pm

        Thanks Mari ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm not sure about the grams but yeah, it's a thick slice!
