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 spoon and set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Split the batter into two bowls. Remove a tablespoon of smashed blackberries to reserve, adding the rest to one bowl of batter and mixing until a purple color forms.
In the other bowl, stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk.
Pour alternating layers of each batter into the loaf pan using a large cookie scoop or ladle.
Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan, then bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with some crumbs.
For the icing, mix the reserved smashed blackberries with the remaining icing ingredients and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest according to your taste preference.
Make sure to reserve enough blackberries for the icing to enhance the flavor.
This loaf is great for breakfast or as a snack and can be stored for up to three days.
