Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 8 ½ x 4 ½ loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond milk, oil, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and almond extract.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Step 5

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Place the loaf on a cooling rack and cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.

Step 6

While the bread is cooling, make the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and almond extract. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze of the lemon almond bread. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the bread. Cut and serve.

Chef’s notes

This Lemon Almond Bread is so good that I didn’t want to share it. I was going to fill a pretty plate with slices of bread for our neighbors, but I couldn’t part with it. I know, I am selfish, but I promise I will redeem myself by making another loaf to share.

Lemon and almond flavors team up to create an outstanding loaf of bread. I used almond milk and almond extract to bring out the almond flavor. This bread will also make you pucker up a bit thanks to the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.

After the bread was done baking, I drizzled a sweet lemon glaze over the top. I also sprinkled on sliced almonds.
