Paleo Lemon Blueberry Bread
Grain-free lemon blueberry bread made with coconut flour makes a healthy refined sugar-free breakfast or snack. This simple healthier bread recipe is lower in carbs but you'd never guess it!
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour or 3/4 cup GF flour blend
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Optional Glaze:
- 3 Tbsp coconut butter
- 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients for the bread except for the blueberries to a blender and blend until combined. The batter will be thick so you may need to stop the blender to scrape the sides a couple of times.
- Place blueberries in a bowl or measuring cup and toss with 2 teaspoons of coconut flour. This ensures the blueberries don't all sink to the bottom of the bread during the baking process.
- Transfer the blueberries to the blender with the bread batter and carefully stir until well-incorporated into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the parchment-lined loaf pan and smooth into an even layer (again, the batter will be thick! This is normal).
- Bake on the center rack of the oven 40 to 50 minutes, until bread is golden-brown and tests clean. I bake for 40 minutes, turn off the oven, then leave the bread in the warm oven for another 5 minutes.
- Remove bread from oven and allow it to cool at least 40 minutes.
- If making the optional glaze, add the coconut butter and pure maple syrup to a small bowl or ramekin and microwave in 10 second increments, stirring between, until melted (it took me 10 seconds, since my coconut butter was already soft).
- Pour the glaze over the bread and spread evenly. The glaze will be thick!
- Slice the bread and serve.
