Lemon Blueberry Loaf {coconut flour}

I’ve got a thing for blueberries and lemons, and they definitely belong together in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf, using coconut flour.

After playing around with lemon muffins and blueberries I decided to turn the recipe into a cake. This tastes very much like a lemon pound cake so if you prefer you can omit the blueberries and have just that. I do recommend adding about 1/2 tablespoon more lemon juice to the mix for tenderness that the blueberries provide.

I added a lot of blueberries here but you can easily dial it down to about 3/4 cup of blueberries and have quite enough in each slice. I used fresh blueberries but frozen will work as well.

  Lemon Blueberry Loaf

  Yield 8-10 slices

  To make this Keto, replace the honey with the equivalent amount of your favorite low-carb sweetener plus 1/4 cup of dairy-free milk or yogurt.

  I used a smaller baking pan measuring 7.5 inches x 3.75 inches. You can use a slightly larger pan and the loaf will be flatter, or increase the recipe size, or double it and make a loaf and muffins.

  For SCD, use only honey.

  Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
