### **Baking Poppy Seed Muffins** - Use fresh poppy seeds: The fresher the poppy seeds, the better the muffins will taste. - Don't over-bake the muffins: Muffins are done when a toothpick or skewer comes out clean when you insert it into the center. Over-baking will make the muffins dry and crumbly. - Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature: This will help them to mix together more evenly and create a smoother batter. ### **Decorating Poppy Seed Muffins** - Use a piping bag: This will help you to create a uniform swirl on top of the muffins. - Sprinkle with poppy seeds: This is a classic way to decorate poppy seed muffins. - Use a variety of toppings: Other toppings that you can use include streusel, glaze, or a dusting of powdered sugar. ### **Storing Poppy Seed Muffins** - Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. - You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To freeze the muffins, place them in a freezer-proof container and freeze them for up to 2 months.
