Sweet + Tangy Glazed Lemon Bread
Easy Gluten Free Lemon Bread is moist & fluffy! Perfect for brunch or sweet treat! Drizzle it with a mouthwatering sweet & tangy glaze!

You guys, this is the little recipe that could. I attempted to make a lemon bread three times. The first was too dry. The second was too gummy. The third was juuuust right.

Wait wait, I want to change my fairytale reference from the little engine to goldilocks.

Sweet + Tangy Glazed Lemon Bread

Or maybe it’s a mix of both! The little goldilocks engine? You get the idea…

We have a lemon tree outside the front of our house. I wanted it for years and years. I dreamed about growing lemons and casually walking  out to my tree to pick one whenever I my little heart desired.

Well, I got one. I got it a few years ago and I love watching the process of it budding, flowering, and fruiting. I love the hummingbirds that slurp up the flower nectar. I’m nerding out hard for my lemon tree, but guys. It makes me happy.

Sweet + Tangy Glazed Lemon Bread

Welp, every winter we have a surplus of lemons and this year I decided I needed to use this opportunity to give you alll the lemony things. And so, the aforementioned process of making this recipe perfect began.

This bread is moist and fluffy. I’m loving the sweet and tangy glaze. It really sinks into the bread and gives it a juicy burst. Make this for a brunch, to have with some tea, it’s really the perfect lemony treat. So, let’s make some Sweet + Tangy Glazed Lemon Bread!

Ingredients you’ll need for this gluten free lemon bread:

  • salted butter
  • lemons
  • eggs
  • coconut sugar
  • blanched almond flour
  • baking powder
  • salt
Sweet + Tangy Glazed Lemon Bread

How to make gluten free lemon bread:

Whisk. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Once combined, add the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.

Transfer to a pan. Line a pan with parchment paper. Pour the bread batter into the pan.

Bake. For 30 – 35 minutes until the top is set and golden brown.

Cool. Once the loaf is done baking, use a butter knife to loosen up the edges and transfer it to a cooling rack. 

Make the glaze. Whisk together the glaze ingredients.

Drizzle. Drizzle the loaf with the glaze before or after (or both!) you slice it into 10 slices.

    So overall I think this is a good recipe! It actually has a buttery taste even though I didn’t use butter ( I used coconut oil). I used limes instead of lemon because that’s what I had on hand. Only problem was that my loaf sunk in the middle as some other reviewers said and my glaze doesn’t look like the pictures. I am not sure how the pictured glaze could be quite like that, how does it look. White and glazy without powdered sugar? I used honey instead of agave and coconut oil instead of butter but I think it needs something to give it texture since it is all liquid ingredients. It mostly tastes like lemon honey on top which isn’t really a glaze in my opinion. Overall I would make it again but with a different glaze recipe and maybe try in a cupcake pan or something in hopes that it won’t sink. Thanks!

      Hi Grace! I’m glad you liked the recipe 🙂 So fun you used limes – I have to try that! I do want to re-make this recipe with an exact lemon juice measurement. I think variations in fruit size can produce more juice which can make sure a wetter batter that can then make the bread sink in the middle.

      The glaze! It really depends on the temperature of the butter. If it’s completely melted, it won’t whisk the way mine is. You want it to be a super soft room-temperature in order to get a more drippy/glaze situation. Anyway, I hope this helps! I’m glad you thought it was tasty!!
