A subtly sweet, tender, moist Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread made with protein and fiber-rich chickpea flour.

This bread is SO GOOD! I must say that I was incredibly happy with how this creation turned out.

I adore chickpea flour (a.k.a garbanzo bean flour), and having used it for many savory applications, I was anxious to create a sweet baked good with it. And boy was I ever so please with the result!

This gluten-free loaf has all of the fiber and protein-rich properties of chickpea flour in one lusciously tender and moist, perfectly (not too) sweet lemon poppy seed bread that also slices and holds together like a dream, stores well (if it lasts that long!), and is oh so DELICIOUS!

This Gluten-Free Chickpea Flour Bread is

• Fluffy, moist, and slices extraordinarily well.

• Filled with healthy, wholesome ingredients.

• Rich in fiber and protein.

• Easy to make.

• Packed with flavor.

• Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, refined sugar-free.

Tips for Making Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

• You can use arrowroot starch, corn starch, potato starch or cassava flour in place of the tapioca, if need be.

• The coconut sugar can be replaced with any granulated sweetener of your choosing.

• For a sugar-free chickpea bread, I recommend this sugar-free sweetener.

• The ground ginger can be omitted or replaced with cinnamon. I just find ginger to enhance the lemon in baking.

• This loaf keeps well lightly covered at room temperature for 48 hours. Any longer, slice and store the slices in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
