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 them aside.
- Smash the blackberries in a bowl using a fork or the back of a spoon, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk, whisking until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Set aside one tablespoon of smashed blackberries for later and mix the rest into one bowl of batter, turning it purple.
- In the second bowl of batter, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk and stir well.
- Using a large cookie scoop or ladle, alternate pouring layers of each batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake for another 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.
- While the loaf cools, prepare the icing by mixing the reserved smashed blackberries with the icing ingredients and drizzle it over the loaf.
