Tips & FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt creates a thicker batter and gives the loaf a richer texture with extra protein.

Absolutely. This healthy lemon loaf stores well and makes a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes. Simply use a gluten-free sugar-free lemon cake mix.
What can I use instead of lemon cake mix?
You can use vanilla or yellow cake mix and add extra lemon zest plus lemon extract for a similar flavor.
How do I keep the loaf moist?
Avoid overbaking. Check the loaf around the 30-minute mark to prevent dryness.
