Triple Berry Loaf with Berry Glaze

Taking something so simple and making it an elegant piece of art does not need to be reserved for special occasions, or take a lot of effort! Elevating the every day is the exact mantra I try to promote because why not! All you need is little creativity and a few simple garnishes to turn a basic berry loaf into a work of art.


This past weekend we hosted Brandon's family over for a casual dinner. I wanted to make a dessert that was classic yet simple, and berry beautiful to look at (wink, wink)! A few weeks back (you may have seen my Instagram stories), I made a lemon-blueberry loaf and although it was delicious, I knew I could take it up a notch! I wanted it to be fruit-filled and fabulous, so on my second time around I changed up the recipe and opted for a triple berry version of the loaf. 

The loaf batter could not have been easier to put together, just a few simple ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour (yes, it's gluten-free!), and eggs, but the real star of the show was the fruit-filled center that was just oozing with E.D. SMITH jam! Not only did I add fresh berries to the batter, but I layered the jam for a berry delightful treat! The whole loaf took about 10 minutes to throw together. No time at all! One thing I can tell you is DO NOT forgo the glaze. It is insanely delicious! I could have easily eaten it with a spoon (confession—I may have)! Don't have coconut yogurt or almost milk on hand? Use whatever milk/yogurt you have!

Now to make it even more fabulous? Top the loaf with flowers, leftover berries, and almond slices. See how easy elegant can be? Try making this one for your next springtime brunch or get together! It will be one to remember!
