Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir until all dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula if necessary.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Enjoy your low-fat poppy seed bread as a delightful snack or breakfast treat!
