Lemon Poppy Seed Yogurt Bread
Lemon Poppy Seed Yogurt Bread
"This Lemon Poppy Seed Yogurt Bread is simply divine. My boyfriend brought home these amazingly sweet lemons from a friend’s lemon tree. I did not want them to go to waste so what better way is there to use them up?! Bake this a lemon poppy seed yogurt bread, of course! Baking with lemons is always a great idea because they are so refreshing and easy to work with. I like to add vanilla yogurt to this recipe instead of using more oil. It makes it extra fluffy and flavorful."
