Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
Smash the blackberries in a bowl using a fork or the back of a spoon and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk. Whisk to mix well.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
Divide the batter into two bowls. Set aside a tablespoon of smashed blackberries and add the remaining to one bowl of batter, mixing until the batter turns purple. Set aside.
In the second bowl of batter, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk and stir to combine.
Using a large scoop, layer alternating amounts of both batters into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 25 minutes, then turn the pan in the oven and bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.
While the loaf cools, prepare the icing by mixing the reserved smashed blackberries with the icing ingredients, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

You can substitute avocado oil with vegetable oil if desired.
Ensure the blackberries are well-rinsed and dried before using for the best flavor.
For a sweeter loaf, adjust the maple syrup to taste.
