Gluten-Free Lemon Poppyseed Loaf

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line or oil a bread pan. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the almond milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, flaxseed meal, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to allow the flaxseed meal to thicken.

Step 3

In the meantime, grab another large bowl and add in the aquafaba and cream of tartar and whip with a hand mixer or a standing mixer on medium-high for 8-10 minutes, or until firm peaks form. Set aside.

Step 4

Once the flaxseed mixture has set, add in the gluten-free flour, sugar, poppyseeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until very well combined and uniform. Add in the aquafaba mixture and gently fold it into the batter. If needed, add the aquafaba in batches to prevent spilling.

Step 5

Once the mixture is uniform, transfer the batter to the lined bread pan. Level off the top of the batter with a spatula and place it into the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick in the middle runs clean.

Step 6

In the meantime, prepare the icing. Add all of the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until well combined.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it onto a cutting board or even a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack. Generously drizzle the loaf with the icing and allow it to set for 10 minutes. Once the icing has hardened, slice into the bread with a sharp knife and enjoy!
