- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 eggs

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions
For the Lemon Poppy Seed Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
- Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest and almond milk in another bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.
- Add the poppyseeds and mix again until thoroughly distributed in the batter.
- Pour into the greased loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes until the middle is set and the top/edges start to turn golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven, let cool a few minutes in the pan before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Glaze
- Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Heat just slightly in the microwave so that the coconut oil and coconut butter melt/soften enough to whisk everything together into a smooth mixture.
- Set aside and let cool back to room temperature, as it sits and cools it will thicken a bit. You can also set it in the fridge for a few minutes to speed the process up.
- Once the bread is cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread and let it set.
