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. Set aside.
- Smash the blackberries in a bowl using a fork or the back of a spoon. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the oil, 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 ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Remove one tablespoon of smashed blackberries and set aside. Add the remaining smashed blackberries to one bowl and mix until the batter turns purple. Set aside.
- To the other bowl of batter, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk and stir to combine.
- Using a cookie scoop or ladle, pour alternating layers of each batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, turn the pan in the oven, and bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.
- Prepare the icing while the loaf is cooling by mixing the reserved smashed blackberries with remaining icing ingredients. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
Notes
Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor and texture.
Make sure to not overmix the batter to keep the loaf light and fluffy.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
