Lemon Poppyseed Loaf

Poppyseeds add such a pretty look to baked goods, and who can resist the taste of lemon...which is why I was a little disappointed with my Lemon Poppyseed Loaf today. The lemon flavor was definitely lacking. I've added several suggestions for bumping up the lemony taste next time.



Lemon Poppyseed Loaf





1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup oats

1 tbs poppy seeds

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk

1/4 cup oil

1 egg

2 tbs lemon juice



To add next time for more lemon flavor: Either 2 tsp lemon zest or 1/3 cup lemon curd.



Preheat oven to 350F and grease a loaf tin.



Mix together the flour, sugar, oats, poppy seeds, salt, and baking powder.



In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, egg, lemon juice and zest of lemon curd. Combine the two bowls.



Pour into loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes.
