  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup oil vegetable, canola or coconut
  • ½ cup lemon juice ½ cup lemon juice usually = juice of 2-3 lemons

Instructions

  • Next, add your eggs, coconut oil, and lemon juice and whisk again until smooth.
    3 large eggs, ½ cup oil, ½ cup lemon juice
  • Add 1.5 cups flour, baking powder, and salt, and give your mixture a final whisk.
    1.5 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fold in your flour-coated blackberries and transfer to prepped 9-inch loaf pan. Add an extra sprinkle of sugar and a couple more blackberries on top for gorgeous color and decorative finish!
    1 teaspoon granulated sugar (for the top)
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow your sweet bread to cool before removing from pan and slicing.

Lemon Glaze (optional)

  • Add lemon juice and about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar to a large mixing bowl and use a whisk or hand-mixer to combine. Test the consistency. It should drip slowly off of your whisk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
    1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Once your blackberry lemon bread is cooled, pour glaze on top and enjoy!

Notes

  • If your loaf isn't cooking in the middle, tent it with aluminum foil and cook it for an extra 5-10 minutes. This will allow the center to cook without burning the top.
