Citrus Almond Quick Bread

Here is a delicious quick bread, one just ready for spring time. Its Citrus Almond Quick Bread. A perfect bread for sharing with a great cup of tea.

This recipe was developed by Michelle from A Latte Food and I didn’t change a thing. I love a good quick bread and this one will not disappoint.

Here’s how it goes together

Ingredients

• All purpose flour
• Sugar
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Lime Zest
• Lemon Zest
• Canola Oil (or Vegetable Oil)
• Milk
• Eggs
• Lemon Juice
• Lime Juice
• Almond Extract
• GLAZE
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Lemon or lime juice
  • Almond Extract
  • Almond Slices

Putting the dry ingredients together

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and both lemon and lime zest.

Putting the liquid ingredients together

In another small bowl, mix together oil, milk, eggs, lemon juice, lime juice, and almond extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Put it all together

This recipe is easy and is put together by hand. Take the wet ingredients and fold them into the dry until completely incorporated.

Pour into prepared 8×4 pan. I use cooking spray and parchment paper but you can just grease the pan as well. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 55 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. It took perfectly 55 minutes for this loaf to be done. And resulted in a beautifully domed loaf.

To finish off this delicious little loaf, you glaze it with a lemon-lime powdered sugar glaze and top with almond slices. For ease, I put the glaze in a plastic bottle. Once the almond slices were applied, I topped with a second helping of the glaze.

Serving

This bread freezes well. Best served at room temperature and deliciously with a hot cup of tea. This is a great bread to gift and to share. Enjoy Citrus Almond Quick Bread.
