One baked good that is ALWAYS a huge craving of mine is homemade quick breads. I could eat a slice of banana bread every single morning (especially if it’s this skinny banana bread!) . I sometimes categorize my favorites by season. During the summer it’s lemon zucchini bread, and almond poppyseed bread. During the fall I love this cinnamon applesauce bread, pumpkin chocolate chip bread. And during the winter and Christmas season I just can’t get enough of this Cranberry Orange Bread! But let’s be honest, homemade sweet breads like this lemon almond bread get my vote all year round.
And, even though quick breads are one of my favorite things to bake, they are one of my least favorite store-bought bakery items. You know how the grocery store has them sliced, usually with a few different flavors, in a take-away container? They always sound and look appealing, and then I taste one and it’s always either overly sweet, dry, or boring. Just not worth the calories, you know?
But homemade quick breads. Oh ya —> amazing. You may be shocked at how easy it is to make this lemon almond bread. Simply sift the dry ingredients in one bowl and cream the butter and sugar together in a separate bowl. Add eggs, lemon zest + juice, almond extract, almond milk, and sour cream to the wet mixture. Slowly stir in the dry ingredeitns and pour this mixture in a bread pan. Bake it at 350 for 40-50 minutes and top with yummy glaze! I love the flavor combination in this almond quick bread. The almond milk adds an extra “nutty” flavor that I love, but you could substitute it for milk. This recipe makes one 9×5” loaf.
