Ingredients

Loaf Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Lemon Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line and grease a loaf pan. 
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, olive oil, lemon juice and zest and whisk well until combined. 
  • To the wet ingredients, add the oat flour, baking powder and salt. Mix just until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 45-50 minutes. Allow lemon loaf to cool completely. 
  • While lemon loaf is cooling, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Remove lemon loaf from pan and pour over lemon glaze. Spread into an even layer. 

Notes

  1. Use the scoop and level method to properly measure the flour.
  2. Do not over mix the batter.
  3. Since every oven is different, set a timer to 40 minutes and check lemon loaf for doneness. Check every 3-5 minutes until loaf is done. 
  4. Allow lemon loaf to cool completely before adding glaze. Otherwise, the glaze will melt off the loaf.
