2. In a large bowl, cream the margarine and sugar until fluffy.

3. Add the soaked chia mixture.

4. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, poppy seeds and lemon zest.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and combine.

6. Mix until smooth but don’t over beat!

9. Cool in the oven for a few min. before removing to cool completely.
