Organic Grass-Fed Butter melted: I wouldn’t recommend substituting this, butter is one of the key ingredients. And do not worry about the fat amount, healthy, organic grass-fed butter is actually healthy and great for your awesome body.

Light Brown Sugar: It gives the bread just the right amount of sweetness without overdoing it. You can also substitute this with maple syrup or honey.

Eggs – You’ll need 2 large eggs for this recipe, which helps provide structure for the bread. Substitute this with flax egg (only if you’re okay with different results!)

Whole Wheat or All-Purpose Flour

Fresh Raspberries – You’re going to need about 1 cup of fresh raspberries. One package will work fine.

Juice and Zest of 1 Lemon –  Use a zester to easily get the zest from the lemon.

Almond Milk – You can also use full-fat dairy milk, as per preference.

Baking Powder 

For The Glaze: all combined together are going to make the most perfect Lemon Glaze ever! 

Powdered Sugar

Splash of Almond Milk

Splash of Lemon Juice
