I love that it only takes 10 minutes to bring together—making it the perfect quick, homemade treat for our family to make together. Plus, it’s absolutely gorgeous and tastes incredible.

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.
