This Grapefruit Loaf is PERFECT for peak citrus season (or anytime really) and comes together with just about 10 minutes of work. Great as dessert, a snack or even a quick and delicious breakfast!
I bought this loaf pan almost a year ago and have been meaning to find a reason to finally use it. I do SO much baking but much of it is for client work where I need to use a standard bread pan. This pan is totally extravagant and unnecessary and I absolutely love it for that.
I figured that this Vegan Grapefruit Loaf was the perfect opportunity to finally put it to good use!
I’ve always loved a GOOD yogurt loaf. But until recently, there just weren’t many dairy free yogurts out there that I liked to bake with. However, I’ve been trying ALL kinds of vegan yogurts (you can see me review all of them HERE on my instagram stories) and I finally found some good for baking with.
My 2 favorites for baking are So Delicious plain or vanilla flavored and Forager project plain yogurt. I tried them both in this and they were great.
I personally prefer a PLAIN yogurt as opposed to a vanilla one. However, you can’t always find plain at the store. So if vanilla is all you have, it’ll still work well and taste great.
I modeled this loaf closely after a classic lemon loaf, but with grapefruit! The taste is simple but so so refreshing and delicious!
I can’t wait for you to try it!
SO fluffy and moist! GIMME!
How to make this Grapefruit Loaf:
1) Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2) In another bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients.
3-4) Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and gently mix until just combined being careful not to overmix.
5) Pour the batter into a greased loaf tin and then bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6) After the loaf has cooled, make the frosting by whisking together powdered sugar, grapefruit juice and zest. Drizzle it over the loaf and ENJOY!!
SO SUPER SIMPLE and deliciously moist!

- 1 cup of cane sugar, or regular white sugar
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil, or other neutral tasting oil
