MOIST AND FLUFFY LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS
Taken from 'The Canadian Baker' Blog. Absolutely the best texture I've ever had. Moist, fluffy, and light. Adaptable for blueberry lemon muffins, raspberry orange etc. I will add more lemon juice next time as I found it not zesty enough, and will cut back on the poppy seeds slightly. A simple lemon glaze makes this the perfect sweet treat for a cold day or an after lunch dessert.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees
- measure out the ingredients (If you desire then change the poppy seeds and lemon juice for whatever you want, I recommend dark chocolate and banana)
- Put all the ingredients in a food processor or mix by hand
- Pour the mixture into paper cases
- put in the oven on the middle shelf and cook for 15 mins
- when the cakes are golden brown, remove them from the oven and stab with a skewer, if it comes out clean then they are done but if not then put them back for a few more minuets
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest brings out the bright citrus flavor in these muffins. Make sure to zest the lemon before juicing it so that you get the most flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top: Filling the muffin cups to the top will help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the muffins are done baking.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins set and will make them easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Lemon poppy seed muffins are a classic flavor combination that is always a hit. These muffins are moist, flavorful, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make muffin recipe, give these lemon poppy seed muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
