RECIPE:

For the Lemon Loaf:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup granulated sugar sub (I use Allulose)

• 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt

• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

• 2 tbsp light butter, melted

• 2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp lemon extract

For the Lemon Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar sub

• 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

1. Prepare for Baking:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, sour cream, oil, and melted butter until smooth.

   • Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract.

4. Combine the Mixtures:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake the Loaf:

   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

   • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Make the Lemon Glaze:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.

7. Glaze and Serve:

   • Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.

   • Slice and enjoy!
