Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, almond milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
Stir in the lemon zest gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the poppy seed bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the bread in slices once it is completely cooled. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
