Almond Poppy Bread with Lemon Drizzle

Hello everyone, my name is Karen and I blog at Baking In A Tornado. If you check the bottom of this post I’ve provided my bio and links to some of the places where you can find me.

It’s my pleasure to post here at Moore or Less Cooking while Nettie’s out of town. Nettie’s a steadfast supporter of other bloggers. You don’t often get the chance to pay something like that back but when you’re handed that chance, like I was today, you grab it.

I’m visiting today with a recipe for Almond Poppy Bread with Lemon Drizzle. In the name of full disclosure, let me start out with an admission: I don’t do yeast. Yes, I said it. In fact, all my friends who bake tease me regularly because it turns out that yeast hates me. We’ve been in a long term war and although I’ve won a battle or two, I’m losing the war. Badly.

So I’m a fan of quick breads, and this one in particular. It’s not terribly sweet so it can serve many purposes. We’ve had it for breakfast, with lunch, or with a pasta salad and fresh fruit for dinner on a hot summer night. On Thanksgiving I put a basket of breads and muffins on the table and Almond Poppy Bread is always requested. The leftovers from that basket serve as breakfast the next day. I shared this recipe on my blog a year and a half ago and I’m happy to share it with you here today.

I am thrilled that you are a guest blogger! Almond Poppy seed in one of my favorite quick breads, yeast isn't such a buddy of mine either. This bread brings back such sweet memories when I worked as a medical assistant and would start my mornings with a big muffin of this deliciousness, thank you for sharing, can't wait to try your recipe. You are the best! Nettie <3
