Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

February 6, 2019 by Amber 6 Comments

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are made with basic baking ingredients, yogurt, poppy seeds, lemon zest and lemon juice with a lemon glaze on top.

Mornings get crazy hectic around here so making a batch of muffins on Sunday night reduces that morning ‘what are we eating’ panic before school. If your a mom- you know the rush. Poppy seed muffins have always been one of my favorites and I love the extra touch of lemon and so does the rest of the family.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are made with basic ingredients plus some poppy seeds and fresh lemon. I could wake up to these babies every morning !

Tips & Tricks

For easy icing of the muffins : Dip each muffin top in the icing when they come out of the oven and then let cool on a cooling rack. This method is easier than drizzling and makes the amount of icing more consistent for each muffin!

Egg whites : Separate the eggs and place the whites in a bowl to beat to a soft peak. A soft peak is when the egg white is beaten to the point where when you lift the beater out of the bowl, a peak forms and then droops within moments. This will help create a fluffier muffin.
