Description

Light and fluffy gluten free strawberry lemon loaf with a strawberry glaze!


Ingredients

Scale

For the loaf:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup pure maple syrup 
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup butter (sub vegan butter or coconut oil for dairy free), melted 
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (skip if your flour blend contains it)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the glaze

  • 1/3 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 cup monk fruit powdered sugar*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a standard loaf tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk in the dry ingredients until a mostly smooth batter forms, then fold in the diced strawberries.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are ok!). 
  5. While loaf is baking, make the glaze. Mash the strawberries in a bowl, then stir in the powdered sugar. Set aside. 
  6. Allow loaf to completely cool. Transfer to a large plate, then pour the glaze over the top. Slice and serve.

Notes

*Note, if you sub regular powdered sugar you may need to adjust the amount. Start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed.
