How to Make this Gluten-Free Raspberry Lemon Loaf
This easy gluten-free quick bread is remarkably simple to make!
You will need the following ingredients:
gluten-free all purpose flour (we use GF Jules)
baking powder
salt
cane sugar
butter or dairy-free butter
plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free Greek yogurt
eggs
vanilla extract
lemon juice
lemon zest
lemon extract
fresh raspberries
confectioners, aka powdered, sugar (not pictured)
If you are new to this website, you should know we are huge fans of GF Jules flour because it was the first gluten-free flour we discovered when my son was first diagnosed with celiac disease (over 13 years ago) that allowed us to make our favorite gluten-based recipes by simply substituting the flour. We never looked back.

Step by Step How to Make this Gluten-Free Raspberry Lemon Loaf
This easy gluten-free quick bread batter comes together in 4 simple steps:
1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl using a pastry cutter, fork or whisk.
2. Mix the eggs, then add the sugar, melted butter, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and lemon extracts in a large mixing bowl, until well combined and smooth.
3. Then add the flour mixture to the “wet” ingredients until well combined.
4. Gently stir in the raspberries using a spatula or spoon. You do not want to use a mixer for this step as the raspberries will break apart.
Let the batter rest 20, no more than 30 minutes, then spread into a prepared baking pan. You can either line with parchment paper or grease and flour the pan.
I show the two steps here so you can see how thick the batter is.
Top with a few extra raspberries if you want, and bake! Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Lemon Simple Syrup and Lemon Glaze
The Lemon Simple Syrup and Lemon Glaze take this Raspberry Lemon Loaf to the next level.
The Lemon Simple Syrup gets added to the hot bread and gives the bread extra lemony brightness and a nice sheen on top.
To make the Lemon Simple Syrup, mix just 1 tablespoon lemon juice with 1 tablespoon sugar (can’t you just taste the lemony tartness?) until the sugar is dissolved and well combined.
Generously brush the top of the loaf with the lemon syrup. Some may drip down the sides and that’s ok.
Let the bread cool completely, remove from the pan, then add the Lemon Glaze.
The Lemon Glaze is simply confectioners sugar and lemon juice, and it adds a delicious sweet-tart flavor to the bread.
Simply vigorously whisk the two ingredients together until well combined and smooth, then drizzle over the top.
It will look stunning and special!
By this time, the Gluten-Free Raspberry Lemon Loaf and your house will smell amazing and when you finally slice into the bread, you’ll be so excited!
The bread slices beautifully and just look at the texture!
The bread is incredibly moist, soft and fluffy!
And the sweet and tangy combination of the lemon, big juicy raspberries and glaze are perfection!
It is perfect any time of day – breakfast, brunch, snacking or dessert.
