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; set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine oil, syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, zest, eggs, and ⅓ cup of almond milk, whisking until fully mixed.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, whisking until just combined.
Divide the batter into two bowls. Set aside one tablespoon of smashed blackberries. Mix the rest into one of the bowls of batter, which will turn purple.
In the second bowl of batter, mix in the remaining 3 tablespoons of almond milk until combined.
Using a large cookie scoop or ladle, alternate pouring layers of each batter into the loaf pan.
Bake for 25 minutes, rotate the pan, then continue baking for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
While the loaf cools, mix the reserved smashed blackberries with the remaining icing ingredients and drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Ensure to rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.
Use ripe blackberries for the best flavor in the loaf and icing.
You can substitute avocado oil with any neutral oil of your choice.
