I make this bread all the time, it's a favorite in my house and doesn't last long. The only thing I do differently is to substitute more flour for the oats.
I made this as the recipe stated and found it to be on the dry side and not much lemon flavor. Sorry, would not make again.
We love this recipe because it's light and delicious.
Love this bread! The combination of lemon and poppy seeds is wonderful! To make it slightly healthier, I used a scant 3/4 c. turbinado sugar and substituted 1/8 c. vegetable oil and 1/8 c. applesauce in lieu of 1/4 c. melted butter or oil. I baked longer for 45 minutes. Still moist and so good!

Excellent bread with great citrus flavor!
also i forgot that i used instead on of just one or the other for butter or oil i used 1/8 of each.
this recipe is great, i used regular oats in stead of oat bran. it was so moist and yummy, every one loved it. also a good topper to the bread is a lemon glave made of a half of lemon and about 3 tbsp of powdered suger.
I have made this 4 times now and it is wonderful! The last time I made it, I reduced the white sugar, added a little brown sugar, and upped the lemon just a touch. Its great as is though. I love to have a slice with my tea for breakfast.
I made the recipe exactly as stated and it came out wonderful. I use organic lemons, which tend to have more lemon flavor. I liked the dense texture of this bread as it seemed to be more filling than most lemon poppy seed breads.
