Super Moist Light Lemon Loaf Recipe

Mornings and afternoons will become a lot citrusy and sweeter with this delicious lemon loaf recipe. I love the moist brightness of each bite.

If you’re on a diet, diabetic, or simply reducing your sugar intake, then this cake is for you. With only 136 calories and 5 grams of sugar per slice, you get all the flavor without the guilt.

Honestly, it took me a while to come up with the perfect light lemon loaf. The first two were a disaster. One was so dry that it gave me hiccups.

The second one didn’t even bother to rise. As I was ready to give up, I remembered that when you add fat-free sour cream to a quick bread, it imparts a lot of moisture to the crumb. Thankfully it worked perfectly and the bread came out amazing.

To give it a nice crunchy texture, I decided to line the pan with sliced almonds. Before baking, I added some more to the top. This step is optional but I highly recommend it if you’re a fan of almonds. While they bake, they toast up and become flavorful and aromatic.

You must be wondering, how on earth did I sweeten this recipe? The answer is easy, I used Whole Earth Sweetener Baking Blend.

It has 50% less sugar and calories than traditional sugar per serving and is Non-GMO Project Verified. Baking Blend is easy to use – just swap 1 cup of sugar for ½ cup of Baking Blend for the same amount of sweetness and 50% fewer calories, without the artificial aftertaste that other brands deliver. Head on to Whole Earth Sweetener for more information.

    Can you use buttermilk in this recipe, instead of sour cream or yogurt?
