Blueberry Lemon Loaf
Natural sugar, spice & everything nice! 💞
Who doesn't love having a baked loaf on hand for a quick breakfast, a mid morning bite, an afternoon nibble or that post dinner treat?
Count us in for all of the above! We love this Blueberry Lemon Loaf recipe because it's sweetened only with natural coconut sugar and filled with ginger, vanilla and fresh lemon juice.
Why make the switch to coconut sugar?Since coconut sugar is dehydrated coconut sap, it is considered a RAW food, meaning it is unprocessed.
- Rich in potassium, magnesium, and sodium. These electrolytes help in regulating the body’s water content.
- Contains the fibre inulin, helps to promote the growth of our good gut bacteria,
- Coconut sugar can replace regular table sugar in a 1:1 ratio, which makes it an easy transition.
- Contains iron, zinc, and calcium, which can have many health benefits including stronger bones
- Has a low Glycemic Index of 35, this helps slow down glucose absorption
