Glazed Light Lemon Bread

Last week I shared my Microwave Lemon Bars. Mind-blowing, I know. Well those bars came and went and my lemon craving did not. So, I gave a healthy little makeover to my favorite lemon bread recipe and added a new favorite to my list – this incredible Glazed Light Lemon Bread! Made with buttermilk and coconut oil creating a tender crumb and incredibly moist bread.

Chocolate has a permanent place in my heart but there is just something about lemons that keeps me coming back again and again. There is nothing quite like lemon-flavored treats in the summer time. Or the winter for that matter! Lemon desserts are amongst my very favorite things in this world and this lemon bread ranks high up on that list.

This bread has a delicate lemon flavor that is just right – not too-overpowering, not too subtle either. Just perfect.

This light lemon bread is made with buttermilk and coconut oil – keeping the moistness level up as well as the health factor. A simple glaze on top adds the touch of sweetness your mouth craves as a counterbalance to the tart lemon flavor.

Lemon zest is really the secret ingredient in any lemon recipe and that holds true for this one as well. The lemon zest packs such a flavor punch and really creates that lemony taste we all crave.

It also looks super pretty sprinkled on top :)

Such a beautiful bread! Perfect with a cup of coffee for breakfast or with your afternoon tea!
