Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the coarsely crushed Fruit Loops cereal, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve! Enjoy a slice of Skinny Minny Lemon Poppy Seed Fruit Loop Bread on its own, or with a dollop of yogurt for extra indulgence.
