Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups / 190g (6.7 oz) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) Swerve sweetener
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) poppy seeds
  • 3 large pasteurized eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ tablespoon grass-fed butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Room temperature eggs are crucial. They emulsify better into the batter, creating a smoother, more uniform texture in the final loaf.
  • For an extra burst of lemon, create a simple glaze by mixing powdered sweetener with a few drops of lemon juice and drizzle it over the completely cooled loaf.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Almond flour baked goods are best stored chilled to maintain freshness.

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Grease a 9x5 inch / 22. 5x12. 5 cm loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Combine Dry : In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve sweetener, baking powder, and poppy seeds.
  4. Mix Wet : In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
  5. Create the Batter: Pour the wet into the dry and stir with a spatula until just incorporated.
  6. Do not overmix.
  7. Bake the Loaf: Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Completely: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial to prevent crumbling.
  10. Slice & Serve: Once fully cooled, slice into 6 servings and enjoy!
  11. Don't overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry .
  12. Mix just until the flour streaks disappear to ensure a tender, not dense, crumb.
