1/2 cup lemon juice
3 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or additional yogurt
1/2 Tbsp. vanilla
zest of one lemon
1 cup white or spelt flour (you may also substitute Bob’s GF)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
heaping 1/4 tsp. salt
——————————
Glaze:
Combine 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Prepare an 8” x 5”** bread pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk the yogurt, juice, oil, vanilla and zest in a small bowl.
Blend the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the yogurt-lemon mixture and blend just until combined and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until the bread tests done. Cool before glazing.
