Delicious Lemon Muffins with Poppy Seeds

My whole family loves muffins and these delicious lemon muffins with poppy seeds are amazingly tasty and a cinch to make.  If you are looking for another yummy breakfast recipe, you should check out this Berry Cheese Danish recipe too.  What I love about this recipe is that it only takes a few ingredients to make and there is almost no measuring, which means it comes together easily and without too many dishes.  This recipe is simple enough for an older child to put together too and makes the perfect breakfast, brunch or sweet treat for later.

There is something about lemon that makes me so happy.  Lemon is bright and tart and so full of flavor and these muffins do not lack for flavor.  The poppy seeds are optional if you don't like them, but personally, I just love the combination of lemon and poppy seeds.

These lemon poppy seed muffins are made from a cake mix as a base which means there is very little measuring so you can pull this recipe together in no time.

Because even though baking can be tricky, since it is so important to get the measurements exactly right, this lemon poppy seed muffins use a cake mix as the base, there is very little measuring which makes this an ideal recipe for a new or young cook.  So if you are a new cook or if you have a budding cook in your house, don't be afraid of this muffin recipe, it is really very easy.

I can't claim that these are the most healthy lemon muffins, but they will satisfy your design for a delicious lemon muffin with poppy seeds without a ton of work or time and sometimes that's the best kind of muffin ever!

They will impress at any breakfast, brunch or even just around your own table at home.  I love it when recipes are easy to make but also yummy.  Try this recipe for yourself today...you can thank me later.

Lemon Muffins with Poppy Seeds

Ingredients:

• 1 Box Lemon Cake Mix
• 1 3.4 oz. Box Lemon Instant Pudding
• 4 large Eggs
• ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
• 1 cup Boiling Water

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line 2 muffin pans with cupcake wrappers or grease the muffin tins if you prefer.
3. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, the lemon instant pudding, eggs, vegetable oil and poppy seeds and mix well.  You can do this by hand but a stand mixer makes this really simple and fast.
4. Slowly add the boiling water to your mixture and mix at the same time.
5. Pour the batter into the muffin tins.  You should fill the liners about ⅔ of the way full.
6. Bake the muffins for about 15-17 minutes, until tops of the muffins are light golden brown.

These lemon muffins are soft and perfect and absolutely delicious.  And the addition of poppy seeds, while optional, takes these to a whole new level.

What is it about lemons and poppy seeds together that makes it such a delicious combination?  Oh.  So.  Yummy.
