These mini loaves are fluffy, light and soft! Perfect for some spring or summer baking at home! They’re a great snack or as a weekend baking treat!
Lemon is one of those ingredients I always try to keep on hand! I never know if I’ll make a savory dish that’ll be enhanced with a squeeze of lemon, for lemon water or for baked goods like lemon cakes/bars or loaves!
These loaves need about 3-4 lemons. I recommend getting a lemon juice squeezer so you’ll get the most juice out of each lemon!
They’re a perfect baking treat for spring or summer!

Why two times 1/2 cup of almond milk do I have to add 1/2 cup of almond milk to the glaze?
