A Homemade Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf for a Yummy Kids Snack

I am always on the hunt for great after school kids snack. If there is one thing I have learned over the last 10 years of being a mom, it is that a fed child is a happy child. So, with school days keeping us busy it was time to pull out a recipe that keeps the kids happy and their tummies full…lemon poppy seed loaf. This lemony loaf is a hit in our house. In fact, it’s actually hard to keep my husband and I from eating the entire loaf…before the kids get a chance. As my eldest daughter would say, “the secret ingredient is love.”

This loaf can be turned into muffins; simply pour into muffin pan, lined with muffin cups, and bake for 15-20 minutes. After the muffins are baked, pierce the muffins and pour 1 tsp of syrup on each muffin. This loaf makes a lovely afternoon kids snack or after school treat. I know my girls love it and I hope your kids will too.

Mmmmm… I can smell the lemony deliciousness just thinking about it!  This would make a much better kids snack than the processed stuff that I usually grab.  Great job, Mama!

    I can practically smell how good this is!!! We love lemon poppy seed bread but haven’t had much success baking it. I’m going to give your recipe a try. I love being in the kitchen with my boys. Thanks for sharing this at the After School Linky!

    Oh yummy, that looks delicious. I love lemon and poppy seed muffins but have never tried to make them. This makes it sound easy enough for me to manage.
