This grain-free blueberry almond flour bread has the perfect touch of lemon. It's naturally sweetened and drizzled with a powdered coconut sugar glaze. If you're looking for something new to bake, this bread is for you!
This blueberry lemon bread is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Okay, so it’s free of a lot of stuff, but packed full of good for you ingredients and tastes amazing. Plus, the combo of blueberries and lemon is one of my all-time favorites!
This is one of my daughter's favorite bread recipes, so we make this a lot. We also frequently make my Gluten-free Banana Muffins and Gluten-free Apple Cinnamon Oat Muffins.
Enjoy!

Almond Flour Blueberry Lemon Bread
Recipe details
Ingredients
Ingredients for the Bread
- ▢ 2 cups almond flour
- ▢ 1/2 cup coconut flour
- ▢ 1/2 cup ground flaxseed (also called flaxseed meal)
- ▢ 1 tsp. baking soda
- ▢ 1/4 tsp. salt
- ▢ 3 eggs
- ▢ 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ▢ 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (cow's milk works too)
- ▢ 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- ▢ 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- ▢ 3 tbsp. lemon juice
- ▢ 3 tbsp. lemon zest
- ▢ 1 cup blueberries
Ingredients for the Powdered Coconut Sugar Glaze
- ▢ 1/3 cup powdered coconut sugar
- ▢ 2-3 tsp. water (or lemon juice)
Instructions
Instructions for the Bread
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Lightly grease an 8x4 loaf pan. Then line the bottom and short sides of pan with parchment paper (this will make it easy to remove the bread when done).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the remaining ingredients, with the exception of the blueberries.
- After the dry and wet ingredients are mixed, fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent the bread with some tin foil about 35 minutes into baking to prevent top from burning.
- Remove bread from oven and allow to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Using the parchment paper, remove bread from pan. Place on a cooling rack or plate. Allow to fully cool before adding the glaze and slicing.
To Make the Glaze
- Add the powdered coconut sugar to a small bowl. Start by adding 1 tsp. water (or lemon juice) and whisk well. Most likely it will be too thick, so continue to slowly add water/lemon juice while whisking. You want the glaze to be thin enough to drizzle, but not too thin that it will soak into the bread.
- Drizzle finished glaze on top of bread before slicing.
- Slice and enjoy!
Tips
- Roughly 2 large lemons will be enough for the lemon juice and lemon zest.
- If you have enough lemon juice left over you can use that to mix with the coconut powdered sugar. If not, use water instead.
- I prefer fresh blueberries, but frozen will work too. If using frozen, do not thaw first.
- Nutritional information includes the coconut sugar glaze. If you skip the glaze, one slice will have 8 grams of sugar, 257 calories, and 18 grams of carbohydrates (no other nutrition facts are drastically impacted by the coconut sugar glaze).
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. This bread is also great for freezing.

Can this be baked as cup cakes? And would it freeze well?
Hi. Can I substitute 2 1/2 cups gluten free flour for the almond flour and coconut flour?
