Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated erythritol or allulose (or your favorite 1:1 keto sweetener)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 2 lemons (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons almond milk, as needed for consistency

Instructions
 

  • Prep the pan and oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, letting the sides overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease the sides.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  • Add wet ingredients: Add eggs, almond milk, melted butter or oil, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until just combined and smooth. The batter will be thick but spreadable.
  • Fill the pan: Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake: Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  • Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing or slicing.
  • Glaze (optional): In a small bowl, whisk powdered sweetener with lemon juice. Add almond milk a splash at a time until you reach a pourable consistency. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let it set for 10–15 minutes.
  • Slice and serve: Cut into thick slices. Enjoy as-is or with a pat of butter.
