What’s in Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins?
- Pancake mix- Make sure to use a ‘just add water!’ pancake mix, like Krusteaz. I usually use Sam’s Club’s brand.
- Granulated Sugar
- Lemon juice- Fresh is best!
- Egg
- Milk
- Butter- We will need this butter melted! Alternatively, you can use canola oil, but the butter yields a more moist muffin.
- Lemon zest- I usually juice my lemon and then zest it, so only 1 lemon is used!
- Poppy seeds
How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Making these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are seriously so simple, my 7 year old makes them! The hardest part is measuring, and that isn’t very hard now, is it?
Measure the ingredients out and mix it all together! This can be done by hand, with an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer- take your pick! Once the batter is combined, separate out into muffin liners and bake for 12-15 minutes at 400°.
Can I Freeze Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins?
Yes! If you want to freeze these muffins for later make sure that they have cooled down completely and are no longer warm. Place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. To eat, simply place them on the counter for an hour to thaw to room temperature.
Can I Use Lemon Juice From a Bottle?
You can if you are in a bind, but in order to add the lemon zest, you’ll need a fresh lemon anyway!
