Being gluten-free doesn’t mean you can’t have a great lemon poppy seed bread! This lemon poppy seed bread recipe will be loved by the whole family.

I have always loved to bake during the holidays. It is comforting when my kitchen is heavy with lingering scents of freshly made loaves of bread and pies. While I love traditional flavors like pumpkin, I also enjoy bringing unique dishes to the holiday parties. Ever been in the situation where there are 15 pumpkin pies at the office party?

Since going gluten-free last year (per doctor’s orders) it has been harder for me to enjoy baking.  However, this year its a bit easier. After some practice, I am able to approach the holidays armed with some of my favorite recipes modified to be full of gluten-free deliciousness. This gluten-free lemon poppy seed bread is one of my favorites.

Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

This recipe is very easy to make. You can use whatever gluten-free flour you enjoy. A great place to get high-quality flour is Thrive Market. They have a lot of different options so you can find the best one for you.

They also have a lot of great options for pre-made gluten-free snacks and goodies for when you don’t feel like baking. The best part is they have really good prices so being gluten-free won’t break the bank.

How to Serve Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

This lemon poppy seed bread is great on it’s own but you can also put a bit of melted butter on it. Served warm is also a nice treat, especially during the colder months. 

It also goes great with a cup of hot coffee. Use this as your reminder to pick up some delicious coffee from Thrive Market while you are getting gluten-free flour and other supplies.

Now that you know what to serve your gluten-free lemon poppy seed bread with and what ingredients to use, it’s time to get baking!
