Lemon Poppyseed Waffles

One of my favorite treats as a kid was a lemon poppyseed bread.

I cannot believe I have never made one - that might need to happen soon.

Thing is, as much as my mom made just about every single thing from scratch, this favorite loaf came from the store.

I know.

It was a rare treat. Our family used to go to the lake in the summer - one of those day trips that started super early in the morning so we'd snag a great spot on the beach. We had a big cooler filled with eats for the day, and for some reason, we always bought a few of the same things at the store for these trips. One of those things? A lemon poppyseed loaf from the grocery bakery.

Oh so good.

So these waffles are lovely - bright lemon, crispy fluffy light, with that little crunch from the poppyseed. Slightly sweet, just as I like things. So, way less sweet than that favorite Lemon Poppyseed Bread I loved...

These would be great with a little melted butter and syrup, but I didn't even do that. I topped these with a dairy free blueberry yogurt and it was a perfect match for these lemon poppyseed waffles. Perfect flavor match and color match, don't you think?

It really is all I needed.
