Lemon Poppy Seed Bread is super moist and really simple to make. This recipe is made with a lemon cake mix, lemon pudding, and a handful of other ingredients.

This is one of the easiest quick bread that I have ever made. It is one of those recipes that you will be making over and over again. And another thing that you will love about it makes two loaves. You can have one for now and freeze one for later.

The bread turns out light and moist. It is great to serve for a quick breakfast, something sweet for brunch, or as a perfect afternoon snack.

Helpful Tips:

  • Make sure to preheat the oven before you start mixing the bread together.
  • You will want to grease and flour the loaf pans for easy removal of the loaves
  • The box of the pudding should be the instant kind, not the cooking kind.
  • Use vegetable oil or one that is flavorless.
  • To test if the bread is done use a wooden pick to insert in the bread, if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs it is done.
  • Let the loaves cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • The bread can be stored on the counter for a few days in an airtight container.
  • This bread will freeze well, but make sure that it is in an airtight container for a freezer bag.
