Gluten Free Lemon Loaf
Perfect bright citrus flavor and perfectly moist loaf this Gluten Free Lemon Loaf is the perfect pairing to any coffee or tea.
We just finally took all of them lemons off of our lemon tree because it was about to fall over it was so full! Now we have a massive bag of lemons to use and I am so excited. I love all lemon things and I was shocked I didn’t have a lemon loaf recipe on the blog. This lemon loaf is gluten free and dairy free but of course I had to make a thick lemony glaze on top. I am glad I got this recipe made before we lost all the good lemon crop!
We love this recipe for many reasons quick, easy, delicious but mainly we love it because this loaf has the perfect amount of sweetness. The coconut sugar adds just the right amount sweetness to this loaf without having an overbearing sting-your-teeth because the pure sugar overwhelms the rest of the loaf flavor.

Soo glad you loved it!
I just made this, YUM! Didn’t have Arrowroot, so I used light buckwheat flour instead. It worked great. The loaf was devoured! Thanks for the great recipe!
Yesss!!
Could lemon juice be used in place of the extract?
Yes, it will just not have the intense lemon flavor.
Ah-ma-zing! So super fast and easy, and honestly I think better than the Starbucks version!
