Ingredients
Starbucks Lemon Loaf:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 1 tbsp lemon extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 ⅓ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)

- Allow the loaf to cool completely before removing from the pan and glazing.
- Make the glaze by whisking together the glaze ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add an additional 1 tsp water if the glaze is too thick to slowly pour over the lemon loaf.
