Lemon Poppy Please



As April begins and it’s finally starting to feel like spring outside, I found that these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are the perfect refreshing treat to accompany this revitalizing change in weather.  

These muffins from the Food Network website found here, are light, airy, and extremely tangy from the fresh lemon zest used. The poppy seeds give them a little bit of a crunch, and the glaze on top provides the super lemony kick. They’re a great quick and easy breakfast but also make a nice mid-day snack as well.

I am not usually one that likes a really strong lemon flavor that makes your lips pucker, but the glaze is so addicting that I found myself drizzling the icing over the tops of the muffins entirely and then licking the extra that dripped off the sides on to the plate. The glaze is also incredibly easy to make, and only requires 1 ½ cups of confectioners’ sugar, ¼ teaspoon of lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.

Although these bite size muffins might be deliciously refreshing, be warned not to walk away from the table with poppy seeds stuck in your teeth!
