Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 pint fresh blackberries, rinsed
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup all-natural maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup + 3 tablespoons almond milk, separated
- 1 tablespoon reserved smashed blackberries
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Smash the blackberries in a bowl using a fork or the back of a spoon and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk. Whisk until mixed well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking just until combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Set aside one tablespoon of the smashed blackberries and mix the rest into one bowl of batter, allowing it to turn purple.
- In the second bowl of batter, stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk until well combined.
- In the prepared loaf pan, pour alternating layers of each batter using a large cookie scoop or ladle.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the pan in the oven and bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
- While the loaf cools, prepare the icing by mixing the reserved smashed blackberries with the remaining icing ingredients. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
Make sure to line the loaf pan for easy removal after baking.
This loaf can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to substitute other berries if blackberries are not available.
