Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or neutral oil)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Lemon Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) For the glaze: Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf before slicing.
Tips
- For extra lemon flavor, add more zest or a few drops of lemon extract.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
