Ingredients
lemon pudding poppyseed bread
2cupsbiscuit/baking mix, sifted
1box(3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix(do not prepare, use dry mix)
1/4cuppoppyseeds
1/2teaspoonlemon zest
2largeeggs, lightly beaten
1cupwhole milk
1/4cupcanola oil
lemon glaze
1cuppowdered sugar
1tablespoonfresh lemon juice
Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sifted baking mix, dry pudding mix, poppyseeds, and lemon zest. Stir together with wire whisk to break up any clumps.
In smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil. Add into the dry ingredients and stir together with a spatula or wooden spoon, just until moistened and combined.
Dump batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is peaked nicely and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out dry or with moist crumbs.
Let cool in loaf pan for about 15 minutes and then remove the bread to a cooling rack and let cool completely before glazing.
To make glaze : combine powdered sugar and lemon juice into a bowl and stir until combined. Pour, spread, or drizzle over the bread. If you want a thinner glaze then add slightly more lemon juice, or for a thicker more spreadable glaze add less lemon juice.
Notes
If you want more lemon flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon - 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract into the bread batter OR you can even add a small amount into the glaze. The bread as is, has good light lemon flavor (especially when eaten with the glaze) but if you want more, then start with a low amount as lemon extract can be strong. Be sure and sift the baking mix by either using a sifter or a fine mesh strainer. I linked to some in the post (affiliate) if you need a visual. If you don't have either one of those, then use a wire whisk to smooth out and break up the clumps in the baking mix.
