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!
