Lemon Thyme Quick Bread
Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup (240 g) vanilla soy or other nondairy yogurt
1/3 cup (80 ml) canola oil
2 teaspoons pure lemon extract
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup (132 g) granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups (188 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Lightly coat an 8 x 4-inch (20 x 10-cm) loaf pan with spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, extract, zest, juice, and sugar until emulsified.
In a large bowl, sift flour and baking powder. Crumble thyme between your fingers on top of the flour.
Fold wet ingredients into dry, being careful not to over mix.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack, still in the pan, for about 30 minutes before transferring directly to the rack, and letting cool completely before slicing or storing.
Yield: one 8-inch (20-cm) loaf

I recently discovered lemon and rosemary + sugar as a great combination, so I am going to try this as well!

I made this today! Thanks for the recipe, it was so good. I ended up using coconut oil because it was the only oil I had left in the house other than olive (and I didn’t want to go that route). Mine was a lot lumpier looking than yours, but I don’t mind cause it’s so good. I love lemon stuff!

That’s just gorgeous, Celine. I seldom eat cake but I do like it and if want to make one, this is exactly the type I’d be tempted to make. It sounds delicious and reminds me of a pound cake I made a few times in my pre-vegan days that included lemon thyme and cream cheese. Giving this recipe a bookmark as it sounds perfect to serve at a spring or summer afternoon get together!

thanks for trying, anja and sarai! I’m glad you liked it.
Cassie, let me know what you think if you get a chance to bake one. I hope it’s close to what you used to make in your pre-vegan days. :)
