Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

April 8, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have for you one of my favorite brunch time treats, MUFFINS!!!  Whenever I go to a brunch the first thing I gravitate towards are the muffins.  I don’t know why?  But I just can’t resist them!  So with muffins on the brain, I thought I would make for you one of my all time favorite kinds of muffins, Lemon Poppy Seed.  Yum!!
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
These muffins are light, fluffy, have a fantastic lemon flavor with a little bit of crunch from the poppy seeds. Plus I topped the muffins with a light lemon glaze. I love the glaze on the muffins, it really adds some nice touch of additional lemon flavor and adds sweetness to the muffins.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
The muffins aren’t only delicious, but they are low-calorie and they won’t give you the dreaded muffin top, unless of course you eat the whole batch (don’t do that!). The muffins are made with greek yogurt, which gives them a nice protein boost and some added moisture to the muffin. I did add butter because I really love the light buttery flavor. I went light with the sugar in the recipe and only used a 1/3 of a cup. Plus the glaze is only made with 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Still thinking of that sweet glaze.  Would it be wrong to make glaze and just eat it?  Yah, it probably is….

A lightly fluffy lemon flavored muffin chock full of poppy seeds and topped with a sweet lemon glaze.
Serves: 13
Ingredients
  • For the Muffins:
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ cup egg substitute or 2 large eggs
  • Zest from one lemon
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • ¾ cup greek yogurt, plain
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk (from carton) or non-fat milk
  • 2 tbsp. poppy seeds
  • 1¾ cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • For the Icing:
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp. powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray (Since there is not much fat in the muffins, I don't recommend using liners)
  3. In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set a side.
  4. In a bowl add sugar and butter; mix until combined. Stir in eggs; until combined. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, greek yogurt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Add coconut milk and poppy seeds; mix until combined. Stir in flour mixture just until combined (do not over mix).
  5. Evenly divide batter in prepared muffin tin (I filled my muffin tin to the top, if you fill ¾ ways you will get about 14 - 15 muffins). Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean, muffins are done. Let muffins cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  6. Meanwhile, to make glaze; in a small bowl add powdered sugar and lemon juice; mix until combined and drizzle over cooled muffins.
Notes
Note: After filling my muffins to the top of the pan, I had leftover batter, enough for one more muffin. If you fill muffin tin ¾ way full, you should have enough batter for 14 - 15 muffins.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Since it’s only the two of us in the house, having a dozen muffins around can be a dangerous thing!! So as I always do with baked goods, I froze the muffins. They freeze wonderfully and to defrost them I just leave a few on the counter. They taste just as good as the day you made them.

I guess from the past few weeks, I have really been on a muffin kick! You have to tell me, what is your favorite kind of muffin?

Have a super wonderful day!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Do you have to use fresh squeeze lemon…what would be the measurement?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      April 18, 2014 at 5:40 AM

      You can use freshly squeezed lemon. Normally a lemon depending on size usually gives you a 1/4 cup of juice and I am sure that would be ok in this recipe.

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.
💕

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
