Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Poppy seeds
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce, honey, vegetable oil, and grated lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free poppy seed bread!
