Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Otto's Naturals - Cassava Flour
• 2 teaspoons Otto’s Naturals Grain-Free Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 6 Tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons poppy seeds

Icing

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 ½ Tablespoons milk of choice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, baking powder, sea salt, and sugar. Whisk until combined. 
3. Add the eggs, oil, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Fold in the poppyseeds. 
4. Spread the batter into the loaf pan. 
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes. The edges of the bread should be lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. Let the bread cool for 15 minutes before moving out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before glazing.
7. To make the icing, combine the icing ingredients together and stir until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle over the loaf. Slice and enjoy! 
8. Store leftovers in an airtight container
