We just finished off the first try at this recipe this afternoon. It was so good I already have another in the oven. Excellent flavour, easy to prepare, it’s a win win.
Thank you so much for your comment Cyrus, glad you liked it.
My favourite sweet muffin! I made 12 muffins in a silicone muffin tray instead and also substituted the poppy seeds for chia seeds to make it even healthier. Thank you it’s helping me stay Keto
I’ve been making this since you first posted and I always go back to this recipe when I have company coming. No one can tell it is keto and they always go for second helpings. I usually mix up the dry ingredients and put them in a mason jar in the freezer. Just pull it out and mix in the wet ingredients. It’s incredibly easy and so delicious.
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your kind words, glad you loved the Lemon Loaf.
Very excited to try out this recipe today! The only thing I’ll replace is to make a cream cheese frosting instead of erythriol one 🙂
I made mine with lemon zest cream cheese monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice
I made mine with lemon zest cream cheese monk fruit sweetener and lemon juice I also added 1/4 coconut flour and an extra egg and another 1/4 tsp of baking powder
Hi, I am new to the baking department and I wanted to know if this can be made in a auto-bread maker (seems easier and fool proof, well for me at least). I have not yet tried to make this but I am excited to do so.
Thank you
Hi Jesus,
I have never used a bread maker so I’m not sure how it would go. The recipe isn’t too hard to make by hand and I have complete faith that it will work well for you! Please let us know how it turns out 🙂
This is a fantastic recipe! I highly recommended weighing out your almond flour as the mass/volume ratio can vary.
Thank you very much for posting this recipe!
Great tip Oliver!! Thanks for stopping by!
Made 2 of these tonight and it is delicious and moist. Cut in 12 slices each and froze half wrapped in parchment and ziploc. Amazing recipe. Thx for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it Lisa! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
I have yet to try it, though it looks delicious. Can I substitute the almond flour for almond flour?
Yes, you can.
This was an amazingly tasty cake, but how did you come to the conclusion that there is only 5g carbs?
The sweetener is almost gram for gram for carbs. I made this myself and my total carbs per slice was coming back at 10.6g per slice. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still ideal for a sweet treat that’s significantly lower carb than what you’d buy but 5g per slice is very misleading.
Hi Recluso,
Thank you for your kind words.
The carbs in the sweetener are sugar alcohols – these alcohols have no impact on blood sugar and therefore aren’t counted in our recipes. You will find that this is the same across all the keto and low carb recipes on the internet. I hope that helps.
Ahh, okay I follow. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining!
This loaf was incredible! Even better than Starbucks, and I used to have it on a regular basis! I substituted Xylitol (toxic to dogs so be VERY careful if you have one!) for the sweetener and did not make the glaze.
Thank you so much, will be making this again! Maybe in muffin form
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
