- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Juice of 1 large lemon or 2 small lemons about 2 tbsp
- Zest of 1 large lemon or 2 small lemons
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 tbsp poppy seeds
Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180 °C) and grease and lightly flour a loaf pan.
Add almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, sugar and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add lemon zest and poppy seeds and stir again.
In a different bowl mix flour with salt, baking soda and baking powder and add it to the first bowl. Stir very well to avoid lumps.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and tap it firmly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake it for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out clean.
