Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

These super easy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are tender and moist for days with a sweet lemon glaze on top.

When I was younger my father would go through these phases of being obsessed with random things…

At first he was obsessed with buying antique copper. Any sort of copper, really. I remember spending my weekends scouring the antique malls with my family looking for the best “copper find,” so I could win the prize. I can’t even remember what the prize was.

Then his obsession turned to sports memorabilia. Before we knew it, my brother’s room was filled, wall to wall, with signed baseballs, autographed pictures, and framed jerseys.

The sports memorabilia turned into golf antiques, and I guess that one has stuck with him over the years.

So what does all this have to do with Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, you ask??

Nothing.

I just wanted to share that information with you, so when I get into my food obsessions you’ll understand why I share 3 pie recipes in one week. And then make 16 batches of muffins the next week.

It’s a learned behavior.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

• These muffins are extra moist thanks to the greek yogurt in them.
• Try switching up the flavors of greek yogurt for other flavor variations.
• Add a tsp of almond extract for another fun flavor twist!

These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are deliciously light and moist on the inside, and bake up nice and tall like a bakery style muffin.

I made a simple lemon and powdered sugar glaze to go on top too. Basically, these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are exactly what you would expect out of a Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin. Addicting.

Make a batch of these super moist muffins for the family and watch how quickly they disappear!
