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 separate bowl and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk, whisking them together.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Add the smashed blackberries to one bowl and stir until the batter turns purple. Set aside the other bowl.
- In the second bowl, mix in the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk.
- Using a scoop, alternate layers of both batters in the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
- After cooling, prepare the icing by mixing the reserved blackberries with icing ingredients and drizzle over the loaf.
Notes
You can use frozen blackberries if fresh ones are unavailable, but be sure to thaw and drain excess liquid.
For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing the batter when combining wet and dry ingredients.
Store any leftover loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
