Almond-Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins image

For a sweet, light and springy flavor combination, you can't beat these muffins. Start with Betty Crocker™ lemon poppy seed muffin & quick bread mix, and add a bit of almond extract for a nutty-sweet flavor boost. A topping of sweet glaze and toasted almonds makes them pretty as a picture and adds a touch of extra zingy flavor and crunch. Bake them up in pretty liners for special occasions-they'll be a welcome addition to your brunch buffet!

These muffins were a bit of a let down. They were dry and lacked flavor. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making them again.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they turned out great. My family loved them.

These muffins were amazing! The perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I loved the almond flavor and the poppy seeds added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

Not bad, but not great. I found the muffins to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these muffins for my kids' school bake sale and they were a huge success! They loved the lemon flavor and the poppy seeds. I'll definitely be making them again for their next bake sale.

Disappointing. The muffins didn't rise properly and were quite dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Meh. I found these muffins to be a bit dry and bland. I think I'll stick to my old muffin recipe.

These muffins were easy to make and oh so tasty! I used fresh lemons from my tree, and the flavor was amazing. Everyone who tried them raved about them.

These muffins were a delightful burst of flavor! The combination of almond, lemon, and poppy seeds was perfectly balanced, and the muffins had a moist, tender crumb. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
