Notes

The almond and oatmeal flours were made in a high-speed food processor prior to baking. If you don't have one you can use packaged varieties from your wholefoods or supermarket.

COOK TIME:

This may vary quite a lot. I've cooked the same loaf from 30 minutes to 40 minutes plus. It's best to check with a skewer to see if your lemon poppy seed loaf is cooked maybe 10 minutes before the time is up.
