How It's Healthier
Because we know most of you will try and make these swaps anyways, we did it for you! Here's the low down on how this bread is healthier than most other lemon bread recipes.
Flour:
This is a 50/50 recipe made with both all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour. In order to make sure it was fluffy as can be and not so dense, we kept some all-purpose in there. Feel free to try and use all white whole wheat!
Oil:
Because we used an entire cup of applesauce, we were able to bring the oil content down to just 2 tablespoons. We also opted to use coconut oil, which is our favorite for baking. You can try and use another fruit puree such as pear sauce or even pumpkin!
Sugar:
When it comes to muffins and loaves, there truly isn't anything better than brown sugar, which is what we used. However, we are confident that coconut sugar will work just the same.

Incredible Swirl
How could we not add a swirl to this bread? The main goal was to add something that complimented the lemon flavor and let me tell you, this cream cheese swirl is gold.
Cream cheese + raspberry jam is all you need! Don't have raspberry jam? Use any flavor you have In your refrigerator such as blueberry, apricot, or strawberry!
Can you freeze lemon bread?
This loaf is extremely easy to freeze. We do recommend, however, that if you are going to freeze it to refrain from adding the swirl. Sometimes dairy doesn't do the best in the freezer!
How to freeze lemon bread:
remove bread from the pan and let it cool completely. Once cooled, tightly wrap it with a piece of tin foil, removing as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Pro tip:
you can also freeze slices of this bread instead of the entire loaf. Just cut the loaf Into slices and continue freezing as directed.
