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.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
