  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated erythritol, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, almond milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine and Mix:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour Batter into Loaf Pan:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake the Bread:
    • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
