For the Batter
- 1 ½ cups Nature's Eats Almond+ Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Zest from 2 large lemons
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp poppyseeds

For the Lemon Syrup
- Juice from 2 large lemons

For Lemon Glaze
- 2 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease your loaf pan.
Whisk together Almond+ flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Combine lemon zest, yogurt, sugar, eggs, poppy seeds, oil, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract in a larger bowl and whisk. Gently fold flour mixture into wet ingredients until just combined. Expect batter to have some lumps.
Pour batter into pan and bake for 55-65 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
For the Syrup:
As the bread bakes, combine lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar has dissolved.
After the bread has been removed from the oven, immediately pour warm syrup over the loaf and let cool completely in the pan.
For the Glaze:
Once bread has cooled, whisk together 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with powdered sugar, adding more as needed until the mixture has a smooth consistency. Drizzle glaze over top of bread. Slice and serve.
