Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, lemon zest and salt, set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla, mixing until all combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Make sure not to overmix, a few lumps are totally fine and help keep the bread tender.
- Pour the batter into a prepared 9x5-inch loaf pan line with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread sit for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, mixing until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread, slice and enjoy!
