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 your oven to 350℉ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Smash the blackberries in a bowl using a fork or the back of a spoon, then set them aside.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine the oil, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk. Whisk until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Reserve one tablespoon of smashed blackberries for later and mix the remaining into one bowl of batter to create a purple color.
- To the second bowl of batter, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk and stir well to combine.
- Using a large cookie scoop or ladle, alternate pouring layers of each batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, turn the pan in the oven, then bake for an additional 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
- While the loaf cools, prepare the icing by mixing the reserved smashed blackberries with the other icing ingredients and drizzle over the loaf once cooled.
Notes
Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
Store any leftover loaf in an airtight container to keep it fresh longer.
Feel free to experiment with different fruits like blueberries or raspberries!
