This Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Vanilla Lemon Glaze is a must for the brunch table. A cross between a quick bread and a pound cake, this moist and rich bread is packed with lemon flavor with a hint of vanilla and perfect slathered with jam or on its own.
One of my favorite recipes to make is a quick bread. No fuss, a few ingredients and in a little while you have a delicious bread to enjoy with coffee or on its own. Whether it’s my Mexican Chocolate Loaf Cake, my Blueberries and Cream Quick Bread or even my Harvest Bread, quick breads are always a delicious brunch recipe. However, the perfect Lemon Loaf has always escaped me me. I often go to that coffee shop that we all frequent from time to time and they have this iced lemon loaf that tastes heavenly. Well – no more because I finally found the best lemon quick bread recipe – this Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze. It is packed with lemony flavor, is moist yet a bit dense, and drizzled with a sweetly tart glaze.
I played with a classic lemon loaf recipe and used Greek yogurt along with coconut oil for a loaf cake that was out of this world. As I spotted some Meyer lemons at the market, I couldn’t resist picking them up before they disappeared as we are nearing the end of Meyer lemon season (booooooo). Meyer lemons, if you haven’t tried them, are kind of a blend of tart lemon and sweet orange – they aren’t as tart as the conventional lemon so if you want even more lemon flavor, add a bit more zest.
This Meyer Lemon Greek Yogurt Loaf with Lemon Vanilla Glaze would be perfect for your brunch this weekend.
