Lemon Almond Bread

This super moist and delicious Lemon Almond Bread is so full of flavor, it becomes moist from using Almond Milk, and it has a burst of lemon and almond. Then smooth and flavorful lemon glaze then topped with sliced almonds. If anyone knows me, I am a huge lemon lover. I have 1 lemon per day in my water. And anytime I can bake, cook or anything lemon, I love it...Enjoy!!!
