These lemon poppy seed muffins are super moist, with a bright summery flavor and a nice, subtle crunch from the poppy seeds.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but hot weather and I don’t mix very well. Since we’ve been having a bit of a heatwave lately I’ve been on a creative kick when it comes to cooking. Lemon is such a bright, fun flavor and it reminds me of sunshine. I am obsessed with the way these muffins came out and they are so easy to make! Enjoy!
