I’m able to easily pick up all the ingredients we need at Safeway—including our secret weapon in this incredible bread: Oikos® OH! Greek Yogurt. You’ll want to make this quick recipe again and again because of the great flavor. If you love lemon, make sure you check out our Lemon Sugar Cookies.

The kitchen is the hub of our family’s life. It’s central in our home and has become the go-to spot not only for tasty morsels but for interaction. Even though our kitchen is disproportionately small compared to the rest of the house, it’s where everyone seems to gather.

My whole gang likes to get involved with cooking and meal prep. Even if the boys have friends over, they will jump in on the action and park themselves in the kitchen as well. And of course, there are always lots of snacks happening. I do have a house full of boys, after all. 😉

I love the quality time we share inside the kitchen and all the delicious food we create together, as well.

After a recent grocery run to Safeway, we headed home to bake some bread together.

Let me tell you: baking bread is one of my favorite cold weather activities.

I love how simple and quick a good loaf of homemade bread is to create. And there is nothing better than the smell permeating the house as it’s baking. Yum!

The boys love experimenting with different flavors and mix-ins while we’re baking. Some combinations are less than desirable, but many are spot on and delicious.

This Lemon Poppy Seed Bread I’m sharing with you today is an easy recipe to make from scratch that I’m confident you’ll love. It’s homemade bread at its best!

Part of what makes it so delicious and moist is the Oikos® OH! Greek Yogurt mixed inside. While I love to enjoy a container on its own, it makes an excellent addition to this recipe.

The new Oikos® OH! Greek Yogurt is a new, double cream yogurt that offers unique flavors for an indulgent taste. There are four flavors to choose from: Salt Dusted Caramel Crème, Honey Drizzled Blueberry, Magnificent Mixed Berry Rhubarb and Lemon Sweet Cream Delight.

A great option for breakfast or snacking, I’ve been keeping the fridge fully stocked with them lately. All my guys enjoy them!

It’s the perfect time to grab them at Safeway right now, too. There is a J4U coupon offer available, so you can snag savings when picking up your Oikos® OH! Greek Yogurt.

I’ve always loved shopping at Safeway; their stores are bright and clean, and they offer all the best brands and products I love.

Once you get your shopping done, I hope you’ll head home to bake this delicious lemon-filled treat. You might want to bake a double batch; it’s so good.

2 eggs
5.3 ounces Oikos® OH! Lemon Sweet Cream Delight

How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

In a large bowl, add the eggs and beat on high for 60-90 seconds until they are foamy.

Add the yogurt, vanilla and oil, then mix until smooth.

Add the zest and lemon juice, and mix.

Sift together the dry ingredients (minus the poppy seeds).

Add to the wet ingredients, and mix until combined. Stir in poppy seeds.

How Long to Bake Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Pour into a loaf pan, and bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes.

Remove from oven, and let cool completely before glazing.

To make the glaze, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients.

I’m crazy about how this bread turned out. It’s absolutely gorgeous and tastes incredible.

I love that it only takes 10 minutes to bring together—making it the perfect quick, homemade treat for our family to make together.

As a rule, we always make everything in a double batch (because hungry boys), and I almost wish I’d made this Lemon Poppy Seed Bread in triple because it’s so good. The flavor is the perfect balance of lemon.

Thanks to the Oikos® OH! Greek Yogurt, it’s extra moist and rich. I’m sure your family will enjoy it as much as we do.
