Lemon Blueberry Almond Loaf with Lemon Coconut Cream
I’m sure u have had lemon cake earlier and blueberry muffins … but have u tried Lemon and Blueberry in combination!
The tangy lemon and mild sweetness of blueberries are perfect to tingle your taste buds
And what’s more … my recipe doesn’t uses almond flour and is totally eggless and gluten free.
The sugar is also unrefined … so it’s HEALTHY too. It’s sure to make those taste buds go TANGYY!!!
