Ingredients

Lemon Loaf

1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1-to-1 blend
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. lemon zest
¾ cup butter melted
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup honey
½ cup milk regular or oat
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs large
1 egg yolk

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk regular or oat
1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Instructions

Add flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest to a large bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are evenly dispersed.
1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tsp. baking soda, ¼ tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest
In a separate bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, honey, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Once the butter has cooled, mix in eggs and the egg yolk until fully incorporated.
¾ cup butter, ¾ cup sugar, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup lemon juice, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 egg yolk, 2 eggs
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold the mixture with a spatula until all of the ingredients are well combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan that has been lined with a piece of parchment paper and then sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted into the center, comes out clean.
Once the loaf has completely cooled, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Pour the glaze over the loaf and then spread to completely coat it. Let the loaf rest for a few hours so the glaze can harden. (You can speed this up by popping it in the refrigerator.) Slice and enjoy!
½ cup milk, 1 Tbsp. milk, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Notes

Meal Prep and Storage

To Store: Lemon bread can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 2-3 days. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, but it may dry out slightly.
To Freeze: Wrap the lemon bread in at least 2 layers of plastic cling wrap and store inside a freezer-safe Ziploc bag, to freeze it for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: It is recommended to let the loaf come to room temperature before attempting to warm it. Slices may be gently warmed in the microwave in 20-second bursts, at 50% power. Overheating may dry out the bread or cause the icing to melt away.
