SO GOOD I baked three in one night and gave one to my Mother-In-Law. I did add more lemon zest (2 tsp.) and fresh lemon juice (2 tbsp.) as others suggested though. FANTASTIC!

With certain changes, it's still 5 stars. It's a great lemon poppy seed loaf either way. Anyway, the changes I made: lemon zest from 2 lemons lemon flavored yogurt instead of plain canola oil instead of butter/margarine extra poppy seeds This is really easy to make and delicious!

This is really good with the added lemon juice. Quite lemony. I baked it at 300 degrees until done so the outside didn't get over cooked...might be my oven since I have that problem alot.

These were great, they have a lovely flavour, the four stars are because I used oil, less sugar, lemon juice and extra poppy seeds, but that's just my personal taste

Fantastic, moist, delicious, easy to make. I do agree with reviewers who said it needed some more lemon flavor. I added a tiny bit of lemon extract, and extra lemon zest, and I felt it still needed some more. I would add at least 1/4 to 1/2 tsp lemon extract next time in addition to 1/2 tbsp lemon zest. Really good cake though, even without glaze.

DELICIOUS!! I made these into mini-muffins and they turned out so tender and fluffy!! I subbed plain yogurt with lemon yogurt, added a little lemon juice, and doubled the lemon zest. Baked for 15 minutes for perfect muffins!

This was great! I used 2 eggs and added the juice of one lemon. Scrumptious.

excellent recipe~the loaf was very dense and flavorful. I would have liked it to be a little bit fluffier. Next time I will use a hand beater to fluff up the butter and eggs.

This would deserve a 5-star rating if the lemon was stronger. The bread/recipe itself was wonderful and baked beautifully. It just needed more flavor. I DID realize I didn't have almond extract, but I did add extra zest AND lemon juice based on others reviews. It still needed more, as my coworkers agreed...although, like me, they still enjoyed it. So, bring on the fresh lemon juice and extra zest! Maybe next time I'll make a lemon glaze? Great recipe though!

This was a very nice recipe. I made six muffins instead of two small loaves, baked for 25-30 minutes. Like another reviewer, next time I'll probably add more lemon peel or some lemon extract. I sprinkled some sugar on the top for a crispy brown effect. Everyone loved these!

Excellent recipe. The only thing I changed was to add more lemon juice and more lemon zest to the batter. The almond extract was delicious with the lemon flavor of the bread. My husband, my toddler and my dad all loved this bread and it was gone in a day!

This is a very simple and tasty recipe! I did make a couple of changes to suit my health-nut side, although I think the original recipe would be a winner even without my changes. First, I omitted the butter and used the same amount of canola oil instead. Also, I used 1/2 C egg substitute in place of the whole egg and yolk. Also, to up the lemon flavor I added about 2 T of lemon juice and about 1 T of zest. I made this into muffins rather than a loaf (about 17 minutes at 350 is perfect!) The result was light, lemony and delicious!!! I will be making these again for sure!
