Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt (or sub sour cream)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease bread loaf pan (9×5). I also like to add parchment paper to the bottom.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Using a hand mixer is recommended here.
  3. Beat in yogurt, coconut oil, lemon zest & juice, and vanilla until creamy. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet until all combined.
  6. Pour batter into greased loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool.
  8. While cooling, whisk together icing ingredients. Once loaf is totally cooled, pour icing over top.
  9. Enjoy!
