Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Bread
My version of Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Bread is light, fluffy, and refreshing especially in the warmer months from the lemony citrus flavor!
Being gluten free isn’t always a dietary choice for some people. Some people choose a gluten free option to manage their celiac disease and reduce symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Even without sensitivities, some have found that a gluten free diet has left them with more energy, fewer skin issues, and aids with weight loss!
Finding gluten free options these days are much easier to come by than it used to be. This is especially true for those particular cravings you just can’t seem to shake (SWEETS!).
This bread will be one that satisfies your craving for bread while enjoying a delicious treat for yourself. Regular lemon poppyseed bread is now a thing of the past with this gluten free option. This is a healthier alternative for anyone wanting to keep nutrition in mind while staying on track being gluten free.
Don’t forget to try my Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, these are perfect for brunches or a quick snack and these Gluten Free Lemon Bars. Yes it’s the season for all things lemon!

Making Gluten Free Lemon Poppyseed Bread:
Before you make your poppyseed bread, go ahead and preheat your oven and prepare your loaf pan. You can use parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray.
Then grab a small mixing bowl and combine the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together and add the honey, melted coconut oil, lemon juice and vanilla and stir. Go ahead and stir in the yogurt too!
Now fold the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients until combined. Be careful to not over-stir! Toss in the lemon zest and poppy seeds and give it a couple more stirs before pouring it into the loaf pan
Bake until your toothpick comes out clean.
If the bread starts turning too brown, cover it with aluminum foil for the remaining cooking time.
While you wait, go ahead and mix the lemon glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Then drizzle over the poppyseed bread once it has cooled down some.
How To Store Lemon Poppyseed Bread that is Gluten Free
You can place it in an airtight container or a ziploc bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To freeze simply wrap the loaf (or individual slices) in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing it into a freezer bag.

I love lemon poppyseed bread and after going gluten free I haven’t had it in months. I saw this recipe on Instagram and was so excited to try it. Was overall pretty simple and quick to make. Turned out so good and can’t wait to make it again!!!
Yay! Thank you so much for the comment/rating and I’m even happier to hear you enjoyed it!
Hi! Could you sub the coconut oil for something else? Do you think butter/margarine or another vegetable oil work the best? Thanks!
I think that room temperature butter would be fine!
So moist and incredible flavor! I love this recipe and have made it for breakfasts many times. This is the only healthy lemon bread recipe I could find without coconut flour so thank you!!! I subbed maple syrup for honey 1:1 and it turned out great.
