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.
