Every Christmas we make our favorite family recipe, the lemon bread. This year I teamed up with Health-Ade to create a take on my families favorite recipe with their ginger-lemon flavor. This flavor is bright, spicy and the perfect drink for the winter months.
Gluten-free & Vegan Ginger Lemon Quick-Bread
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 70 minutes
- Total Time: 85 minutes
- Yield: 1 loaf of bread 1x
- Category: Quick Bread
- Method: Baking
Description
the easiest, yummiest cake for every occasion!
Ingredients
Bread:
- 1 cup of vegetable shortening (rainforest certified)
- 2 cups of sugar
- 3 cups of gluten-free flour
- 2 tsp of baking soda
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 1/3 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 zested lemon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 flax eggs or 4oz of whipped aquafaba
Topping:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of lemon juice
Instructions
- pre-heat your oven to 350°F, grease your loaf pan with vegan butter and dust with gluten-free flour
- in your bowl with a electric hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip your vegetable shortening with your sugar
- next add in your baking powder, salt, vanilla extract and lemon zest
- add in your flax eggs, lemon juice and your almond milk until combined *batter might separate here but it will come together 🙂
- lastly mix in your gluten-free flour until a soft batter forms
- when your batter is smooth with no lumps, scrape down the bowl and do one more pass through with the mixer to get the last of the mix combined
- in your prepared loaf pan, scrape all your batter into the pan
- place in the oven and bake for 65-70 minutes
- once cooked through, remove the cake and drizzle on your combined sugar and lemon juice mixture
- bake for a remaining 5 minutes to set the topping
- remove from the oven and let it cool for 30 minutes before slicing
- serve with ice cream or plain (my favorite way!)
Notes
* the batter might break after you add in the liquid but it will come together with the flour * make sure you don’t toss out the ends when you bake the bread, this is the best slice so save that slice for yourself

The flavors of ginger and lemon combined is hands down my favorite combination year round. Every night before bed I make my own tea that is grated ginger and freshly squeezed lemon. When Health-Ade asked me to create a recipe with their ginger-lemon flavor I knew I needed to make a lemon bread. Combining my two favorite flavors was a must!
This gluten-free and vegan bread defies the stereotypes of gluten-free & vegan baking. It’s so soft, tender and full of flavor. This quick bread has a soft but tangy top that allows you to get the tang of the lemon with the sweet sugary crunch!
Add this delish bread to your holiday table this season! A great breakfast for the day after Christmas or New Years Day!
