Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan with a light dusting of almond flour or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol and lemon juice until smooth and pourable. If the glaze is too thick, add a tiny bit more lemon juice; if too thin, add a bit more powdered sweetener.
Once the lemon bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set for about 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure all cold ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature for a smoother batter and even baking.

Do not overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the bread tender.

Cool the bread completely before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting and running off.

Store leftover lemon bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add an additional teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
