A moist, tender and delicious Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf with a Lemon Icing! Baked with a perfect amount of poppy seeds! Perfect for breakfast, tea time or a snack!
This loaf was beyond amazing!! I’m still all about lemon flavors. Since I had a bunch of lemons at home, I put them to good use by baking this lemon poppyseed loaf.
It was so moist, with a delicate light crumb! The perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
I made Lemon Chia Seed Muffins not too long ago! I used chia seeds because I didn’t have poppyseeds, but now that I do, it gives me another excuse for some more baking. What’s new? I’ve been all over my oven, baking a bunch of loaves, muffins, brownies and other desserts!
Many times when I bake, I have Jovin eat a majority of it, I bring it home to family when I visit or I just eat it all. Sometimes, I freeze it but it’s not often! I usually eat through a loaf myself in 3-4 days!
The lemon icing here is an essential. It adds lemon flavor to the loaf and brings all the flavors together.
Now what’re you waiting for? This lemon poppyseed loaf is waiting for you!

Winnie, I love this recipe. It’s perfect for summer. I’ve already made it once and going to make it again today. I deleted my IG, all of the bad news and negative posts we’re getting to be too much but I do miss seeing your yummy recipes. Remembered today that you had a blog, yay! Any chance we can get a bread pudding recipe for winter??
