We've all rushed to our favorite bakery or coffee shop, trying to get in line before they run out of those sweet and nutty lemon poppy seed muffins, only to find them sold out just when we get to the counter. Little else can put such a damper on our morning. Thankfully, here comes the Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf to ensure that tastebud tragedy never happens again! Each slice has all the bright, tangy lemon flavor with the light crunch of poppy seeds, accented by a sugary lemon glaze all over the top. The Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf may not be muffin-shaped, but wow, the bakery never made anything quite this fresh before!
