Poppy Seed Lemon Bread

There is something special about a good old poppy seed lemon bread. It has such a delicate taste, doesn’t it? And to make it even better, poppy seeds have amazing health benefits, such as they help to improve digestive health, they are a good source of dietary fibre, minerals, b vitamins, to name just a few. You can look at my crepe recipe if you want to read about the benefits of buckwheat.

This bread is a healthy gluten free treat. Give it a try, you will not regret it.
