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.

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.

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!
