Lemon Drizzle Loaf

This loaf is fresh, zesty and moist. I make it on a Sunday and divide it into 12 ready for lunchboxes the week ahead.

It freezes really well making it ideal for meal planning. A orange variation of this guy could be delicious too!… Post your pictures on Instagram with the hashtag #skinnybakeryrecipe and we will mention you in our stories. 🍋
