Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins

"These are an all time favourite of mine. They are best eaten straight out of the oven as they have a super crunchy top on them (this softens as they cool). They are so beautiful you won't be able to stop at one! From the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook."

  1. I love this recipe. And one very good thing about it is that you can even use limes as a substitute for the lemons. I made them for my family last night and ate all of them. Thank you!
     
  2. I found this easy (had to make my own self rising flour) but it lacked the lemon punch I was looking for. I would up the amount of lemon zest used and possibly even use an extract. I will probably make this again with a few adjustment.
     
  3. This is a really quick, easy and tasty muffin recipe, and results are very nice and relatively healthy! I just adore the lemon/poppy seed combination! We took most of these to a friend's place and came home to find that the cats had had made a good start on the remaining ones, so that's got to be a sign they're good! Thanks for posting!

Well I have two gorgeous kids a 2 year old boy(soon to be 3) and a 9 mth old girl, so I have been very lucky to have one of each! I remember growing up and eating the most yummiest food that my mum would cook for us so I am carrying on the tradition and starting my own favourite recipes for my family to grow up on and this is where this great website comes in! I love to travel, go to the beach, animals, going to theme parks, zoos etc, art and crafts the list goes on. I am currently a stay at home mum living with my partner and enjoying every minute of bringing up my beautiful babies.
