These lemon poppy seed muffins are made with poppy seed, sugar, butter, eggs, plain yogurt, and shredded lemon peel. Yogurt in the batter keeps this quick and easy muffin recipe moist.
A good traditional choice and loved by most everyone. They add a nice variety to a brunch table because they have a bit of texture to them from the poppy seeds.
Quick and easy to make, these wonderfully moist and flavorful muffins are the perfect food for a breakfast or brunch.
This is one of my favorite recipes as I like the tiny crunch of the seeds when you bite into one of them. I know they have a bad reputation due to employment testing, but if you are comfortable with it, they are really good.
Plain yogurt and shredded lemon peel gives these muffins a signature tang.
