This is my sweet niece Alyssa's favorite! She would tell you I don't bake this near enough! It's sweet and tart and so moist from the yogurt. I add a drizzle of glaze when I make loaves but omit it if I make into muffins (not sure why) but it honestly doesn't NEED the glaze at all! * Lemon Poppyseed is second from the left in photo.
