Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

This might be some of the lightest, fluffiest, softest bread you’ll ever eat!  This recipe honestly could not be easier. All you need is a boxed lemon cake mix, water, and a few other staple ingredients. My mom has been making this recipe for years and it disappears quickly by whoever is around it! You know it’s good because it came from one of those church cookbooks where everyone submits their favorite recipe to share.

I make this using those mini disposable loaf pans, but you can use a regular sized loaf pan for larger slices. It could also work for muffins or mini muffins, the baking time would likely need to be adjusted. Get to it, it’s so easy!!
