Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Hi there! I’m Jesseca from Sweet Treats & Good Eats! I am so excited to be guest posting here at Key Lime! Today I’m going to share with you one of my family’s favorite recipes! But first, a little back story. You see… I have a two year old that LOVES breakfast. He will eat basically anything I put in front of him. Fruits, vegetables, grains… you name it, he’ll eat it! As a reward, twice a week, I like to give him control of what I make. It never fails that he picks these lemon poppy seed muffins!  Not that I blame him. The flavor in these is out of control. You definitely taste the citrus flavor right away, and the cake is so light and moist! Your home smells amazing as these bake, and it’s hard not to do a taste test before the glaze is added! It is also super convenient to toss the left overs in the freezer to save for those mornings when you just don’t have the time to bake a whole batch.
