Instructions

How to Make Easy Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

  • First, in a medium glass bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: gluten-free all-purpose flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Using a hand whisk, combine and set aside until ready for use.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F. Grease a bread pan with butter or cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Set aside until ready for use.
  • Then, in a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: melted and cooled coconut oil, maple syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients prepared earlier (or vise-versa) and mix until completely combined. Add poppy seeds and mix once more just until combined.
  • Finally, pour the batter into the bread pan prepared earlier and bake in the preheated oven for 55 - 60 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a cooling rack.

Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Glaze Instructions

  • While the bread is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze.

  • Slice and enjoy!
