I love this recipe with a few substitutes. I do not use splenda, egg beaters or poppy seeds. With these changes I have made this recipe several times and have also made berry lemon bread using 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped frozen mixed berries folded in. Another time I used a cup of blueberries. Great every time. Thanks for the recipe!

It was fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly except for leaving out the poppy seeds. The bread was sweet and lemony and had a great texture - fluffy and moist. My wife suggested adding blueberries next time and I think I might try it.

This recipe was pretty good. I made them into muffins. I had to modify the recipe according to what I had on hand. I used 1 3/4 flour, 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tsp. of Tone's lemon peel. I made a glaze of 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp hot water. I will make this again.

Thanks SO much for this recipe! I don't know how I kept missing in when I was searching for lemon poppy seed recipes! This is just what I was looking for. I made them into six jumbo muffins, baked for twenty minutes... which was probably too long. That, combined with the fact that I was just too lazy to squeeze a second lemon and so I only had a little more than 1/4 cup lemon juice, is probably why they were a bit dry. I also used 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 cup oat bran. I also used a little less than a full cup of Splenda. Thanks for posting!!

I made this into muffins for portion control (recipe made 9 muffins). I made a few changes, based on what I had on hand. I used real sugar, and reduced it to 2/3c., which was still very sweet for my taste. I also used all whole wheat flour and 2 real eggs. I added a little salt and some lemon extract. The muffins raised perfectly, and they really smell like Fruit Loops! Thanks!
